ehlo Function

This function performs initial handshaking with SMTP server after connecting, with extended information returned.

Syntax

UTL_SMTP.EHLO (

c       IN OUT NOCOPY connection, 
domain  IN NOCOPY) 

RETURN replies;
UTL_SMTP.EHLO (

c       IN OUT NOCOPY connection, 
domain  IN NOCOPY);

Parameters

Table 82-10 ehlo Function Parameters

Parameter	Description
c (IN NOCOPY)	The SMTP connection.
domain (IN NOCOPY)	The domain name of the local (sending) host. Used for identification purposes.

Usage Notes

The ehlo() interface is identical to helo(), except that it allows the server to return more descriptive information about its configuration. [RFC1869] specifies the format of the information returned, which the PL/SQL application can retrieve using the functional form of this call. For compatibility with helo(), each line of text returned by the server begins with status code 250.
