MAIL

The MAIL command is used to execute the MAIL command, initiate a mail transaction with the SMTP service, and declare the sender's email address.

   c           IN OUT NOCOPY   connection,
   sender      IN              VARCHAR2,
   parameters  IN              VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL)

Considerations

The mail command is used to inform the server that a new mail transaction has been initiated. This transaction must be completed by subsequent calls to the rcpt and data commands. The connection to the SMTP server must be open, and the helo or ehlo command must have been executed.
