Thank you very much for your help.
 After being testing the program first from my prompt (it worked fine) andthen within PostgreSQL, I realized that I was
usingaliases for the systemusers emails (for instance I used postgres instead ofpostgres@myhost.mydomain.com
 
once that i tried the "complete" email address it worked fine. Is itpossible to use aliases from within PostgreSQL
(outsideworks fine, which
 
issomething weird that I dont understand).
 Many thanks
 Miguel
