David
Thanks for the other resources. But I think those don't solve my problem.
FYI I used sendmailR:sendmail without password.
This is more or less how I ended up doing it. I can send a simple plain email
or a simple plain email with an attachment or few attachments. Not sure if it
makes a difference but in this test I am sending to myself from within the
company
I am just trying to figure out how to email the contents from dput(). Whenever
I try it prints it to the screen and the contents don't appear in the email at
all: body or attachment. If I try it as an attachment (that's the mime_part())
the attachment is blank.
## Not run:
from <- "lopez...@llnl.gov"
to <- "lopez...@llnl.gov"
subject <- "This email from R"
body <- list("It works!", "mime_part(iris)")
mailControl=list(smtpServer="thing.thing.gov")
sendmail(from=from,to=to,subject=subject,msg=body,control=mailControl)
## End(Not run)
Thanks.
Dan

This might be critical. There was a 2010 posting from Barry Rowlingson saying
that 'sendmail' in sendmailR was unable to provide smtp-authorization. I got an
error message regarding authorization when I added my password.
http://markmail.org/search/?q=list%3Aorg.r-project.r-help+sendmail+authentication#query:list%3Aorg.r-project.r-help%20sendmail%20authentication+page:1+mid:pwfqwwwumgwtcqx7+state:results
That thread also included Ben Bolker's offer of code in package:Rmail at:
http://www.math.mcmaster.ca/~bolker/R/src/contrib/
I was able to get Lin Himmelmann's mail::sendmail function to send a message
to myself. Looking at the code it appears Lin has set up a PHP server and is
parsing an http: request. It also doesn't look like it is intended to be
general solution since there is a message saying the numbers of messages are
limited.
