how do you send email from R

Question

I want to send emails from R. This is what I have so far:

library(sendmailR)


from <- \"eamil@example.com\"
to <- \"email2@example.com\"
subject <-         


        

Answer 1

If you prefer an in-house solution with your server, you can call the linux sendmail.

EMAIL <- myEmail@gmail.com
cmd <- 'subject="Info server";body="This is an email"'
cmd <- paste("echo -e \"Subject:${subject}\n${body}\" | /usr/sbin/sendmail -t \"", EMAIL, "\"")
system(cmd)
