Send Mail R and Socket Connections

[TwistedSkies]

Good Afternoon All,

I am attempting to use the SendMailR function, I have checked with our I.T. department that I am using the correct server and I have the right permissions to connect and they have sent emails via this server but not through R and I have also checked that the port should be 25.

The code:



# E-Mail #

library(sendmailR)

from <- "[e-mail]"
to <- "[e-mail]"
subject <- "Send Mail R- Test"
body <- "TESTING TESTING TESTING"                    
mailControl=list(smtpServer="uksmtp.global.local")

sendmail(from=from,to=to,subject=subject,msg=body,control=mailControl)




I receive the below error:


function (host = "localhost", port, server = FALSE, blocking = FALSE,
open = "a+", encoding = getOption("encoding"), timeout = getOption("timeout"))
.Internal(socketConnection(host, port, server, blocking, open,
encoding, timeout))
<bytecode: 0x00000000071beb18>
<environment: namespace:base>



So I figured its an error with or I needed to define a new socket connection, is this where the problem lies? Could anyone give me any pointers on where to go next with this to get it working?

Many Thanks in Advance!

This is not an error but the definition of the socketConnection() function.

If this is really the result, please contact the package maintainer
(CCIng) for details, assuming you have the most recent versions of R and
that package.
