sendmailr

This question already has an answer here: Use sendmailR with Windows 4 answers I am trying to use sendemailR package in R but I am getting an error I don't know how to fix. When trying the default parameters: library(sendmailR) from <- "your_email" to <- "your_email" subject <- "Test send email in R" body <- "It works!" mailControl=list(smtpServer="smtp.gmail.com") sendmail(from=from,to=to,subject=subject,msg=body,control=mailControl) I get the error Error in socketConnection(host = server, port = port, blocking = TRUE) : cannot open the connection In addition: Warning message: In

I receive daily emails where there is an attachment containing 1 zip file containing 1 csv file. In the body of my email, there is an image that is being recognized as another attachment I am pretty sure. The below script works when there is only text in the body of the email but with the "Adobe Marketing Cloud" image, it is screwing up the script. Is there a way I can only read maybe the first attachment read (assuming that will be the zip file)? Here is my script: library(readr) library(RDCOMClient) outlook_app <- COMCreate("Outlook.Application") search <- outlook_app$AdvancedSearch( "Inbox"

I'm trying to run sendmailR on Windows with the following code: ## Not run: from <- "<tal.galili@gmail.com>" # sprintf("<sendmailR@\\%s>", Sys.info()[4]) to <- "<tal.galili@gmail.com>" subject <- "Hello from R" body <- list("It works!", mime_part(iris)) sendmail(from, to, subject, body, control=list(smtpServer="ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.")) And get the following error: Error in socketConnection(host = server, port = port, blocking = TRUE) : cannot open the connection In addition: Warning message: In socketConnection(host = server, port = port, blocking = TRUE) : smtp.gmail.com tal.galili@gmail.com

I am trying to send a dataframe with SendMailR. I can send it as an attachment with reasonably good formatting. However I would like to send the dataframe in the body of the email. I tried capture.output, print, sprintf but am not even able to get the format close. e.g. I tried the following syntax for (i in 1:nrow(df)){ MSG = c(MSG,rownames(df)[1],as.character(unlist(df[i,])),'\n') } MSG = sprintf('%-10s',MSG) sendmail(from,to,subject,msg = list(MSG,attachment1,attachment2 ... )) In other words, I am thinking that it might be necessary to convert my dataframe into a format with /n and sprintf

I have a scheduled an R script running from a windows machine. After it finishes, I wish this script to automatically send an email with some log file attached. Using shell() with some other scripts may be possible, but I was wondering if there is a better solution within R. Thanks. sendmailR works for me on Windows 7.
