I took a look at sendmailR when I was trying to figure out how to send email a few years ago. I ended up using my SQL Server dbmail facility, which I can easily access from R using the RODBC package. In case my scenario applies to anyone else, I will paste the simple function I wrote to serve as an example to anyone else who may want to do the same thing:
"email" <- function(to, subject, msg, texttype='TEXT', imp='NORMAL', profileName='Roger Bos') { go <- try(sqlQuery(xf, "EXECUTE msdb..sp_send_dbmail @profile_name = '" %+% profileName %+% "', @recipients = '" %+% to %+% "', @body = '" %+% msg %+% "', @subject = '" %+% subject %+% "', @query = '', @body_format = " %+% texttype %+% ", @importance = '" %+% imp %+% "', @attach_query_result_as_file = 0")) } -----Original Message----- From: r-help-boun...@r-project.org [mailto:r-help-boun...@r-project.org] On Behalf Of Daniel Malter Sent: Thursday, May 19, 2011 2:04 PM To: r-help@r-project.org Subject: Re: [R] Email out of R (code) As I (thought I) understood from the sendmailR manual, the package does currently not support server authentication, or does it?
