No. But I had sometimes similar problems when using a postgresql 
database which went through some commercial products, or some GUIs. Some 
names (tables, fields, schemas) sometimes contained uppercase letters 
mixed with lowercase. This caused problems in some situations (in psql, 
and also in qgis, if I remember well). I had to rename manually the 
concerned names to lowercase, and it worked. Another solution was to 
include the concerned names within double quotes.

I'm absolutely not sure if you are in this cas; but the fact that you 
mentioned some third-party software rang a bell. You could check, in 
psql (something as "neutral" as possible, if the schema "utl_smtp" isn't 
"Utl_smtp" or "Utl_Smtp" or "uTL_sMtP" or anything similar...

Hope it helps
