Send mail from within R

Description

Simplistic sendmail utility for R. Uses SMTP to submit a message to a local SMTP server.

Usage

sendmail(
  from,
  to,
  subject,
  msg,
  cc,
  bcc,
  ...,
  engine = c("internal", "curl", "debug"),
  headers = list(),
  control = list(),
  engineopts = list()
)

Arguments

`from`	From whom the mail message is (RFC2822 style address).
`to`	Recipient of the message (vector of valid RFC2822 style addresses).
`subject`	Subject line of message.
`msg`	Body text of message or a list containing `mime_part` objects.
`cc`	Carbon-copy recipients (vector of valid RFC2822 style addresses).
`bcc`	Blind carbon-copy recipients (vector of valid RFC2822 style addresses).
`...`	...
`engine`	One of: `"internal"` for the internal smtp transport (default). `"curl"` for the use of curl for transport. Enable if you need STARTTLS/SSL and/or SMTP authentication. See `curl::send_mail`. `"debug"` sendmail returns a RFC2822 formatted email message without sending it.
`headers`	Any other headers to include.
`control`	List of SMTP server settings. Valid values are the possible options for `sendmail_options`.
`engineopts`	Options passed to curl if using the curl backend. For authentication pass a list with `username` and `password`. `use_ssl` defaults to "force" if unset. For available options run `curl::curl_options`.
