Thanks Rex for the help. So it seems that I might have to use Python or Perl to perform the action.

Connected to eas-blu.hot.glbdns.microsoft.com. Escape character is '^]'. But it's probably expecting TLS, and sendmailR doesn't support it. >Please let me know if we have some solution for this. If you want to use sendmailR, you need to find a mail server that does not require TLS. This may mean running your own mail server. Or, you can call an external program that handles a TLS connection. -rex -- Proofread carefully to see if you any words out. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
