In christophrust/Rmailer: Very Simple SMTP Client for R Featuring Encryption and Authentication

Rmailer

Send mails from R via smtp with encryption and authentication

Prerequisites

Linux/Mac

Rmailer is based on libcurl. Therefore, make sure to have libcurl installed (including an ssl library).

For instance, on a Debian-based system type

sudo apt-get install libcurl4-gnutls-dev

to install libcurl with GNU TLS support. Other SSL/TLS libraries will also work.

Windows

Rtools is required to build the package from source.

A prebuilt binary (thanks to win-builder) is also available here.

Installation

After having gone through the steps above, the package can be installed as follows from R console:

library(devtools)
install_github("christophrust/Rmailer")

Example

library(Rmailer)


message <- c("Hey,",
             "",
         "I have a nice pic for you!",
         "",
         "Best",
         "C.")


settings <- list(server = "smtp.example.org",
                 username = "user",
         password = "password")


## send message:
sendmail(from = "[e-mail]",
         to = "[e-mail]",
         subject = "Good news!",
         msg = message,
         smtpsettings = settings,
     attachment = "nice_pic.jpg")
