ORA-20002: 501 Bad address syntax

[Quoted] [Quoted] I intend to send a simple smtp mail using the builtin UTL_SMTP package.

But i get the following error:-
ORA-20002: 501 Bad syntax error

Here is my code:-
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE mail
IS
BEGIN
DECLARE
  v_connection UTL_SMTP.CONNECTION;   

BEGIN v_connection := UTL_SMTP.OPEN_CONNECTION(<my host here>,25); dbms_output.put_line('Connection Opened');

UTL_SMTP.HELO(v_connection,<my host here>); dbms_output.put_line('After calling helo');

UTL_SMTP.MAIL(v_connection,'test_at_myhost.com'); dbms_output.put_line('Sender set');  

UTL_SMTP.RCPT(v_connection,'test1_at_myhost.com'); dbms_output.put_line('Recipient Set');  

UTL_SMTP.DATA(v_connection,'Sent From PL/SQL'); dbms_output.put_line('Message body set');

UTL_SMTP.QUIT(v_connection);
dbms_output.put_line('Connection Closed'); end;
END;
/

Here is the output:-

SQL> exec mail
Connection Opened
After calling helo
BEGIN mail; END;

I tried sending mails to my smtp server via java mailing API and i am successful. So i am wondering wat i am doing wrong up there in Oracle. I have JServer enabled, i also ran the initplsj.sql successfully.

Please help.
