I believe the security of the 'java' language is probably getting in 
your way. It doesn't allow you to open files, so it probably doesn't 
allow you to open socket connections, either. Try using the 'javau' 
language, which has no security checks:

e.g. CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION control.fn_smtp ... LANGUAGE 'javau';

Good luck,
