R help - Jun 2013 - Sending Email with Attachment

Hi,

 

I am trying to send an email through gmail or outlook from my Windows PC and
finding trouble to send the email.

The code which I am using is given below:

 

Code :

 

library("sendmailR")

from <- "abcd@outlook.com"
to <-  <mailto:efgh@gmail.com> efgh@gmail.com
subject <- "Run at"
mailControl = list(smtpServer="blu-m.hotmail.com")
attachment <- "type_1.pdf"
attachmentName <- "target_score.pdf"
attachmentObject <- mime_part(x= attachment,name= attachmentName)
body <- "Email Body"
bodywithAttachement <- list(body, attachmentObject)
sendmail(from=from,to=to,subject=subject,msgbodywithAttachement,control=mailControl)
 
However it gives me following Error:
 
Error: 
 
Error in socketConnection(host = server, port = port, blocking = TRUE) : 
  cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning message:
In socketConnection(host = server, port = port, blocking = TRUE) :
  blu-m.hotmail.com:25 cannot be opened
 
 
I have also tried the other library i.e. mail but it does not support
attaching the object.
And also tried it with following command which was also unfruitful with
password given.
 
Code :
 
sendmail(from=" efgh@gmail.com <mailto:efgh@gmail.com> ",
to="
efgh@gmail.com <mailto:efgh@gmail.com%22,%20text=%22Send> ",
text="Send
Email", subject="MAil", smtp="smtp.gmail.com", user=
"efgh@gmail.com",
pw="pwd")
 
Error:
 
Error in socketConnection(host = server, port = port, blocking = TRUE) : 
  cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning message:
In socketConnection(host = server, port = port, blocking = TRUE) :
  localhost:25 cannot be opened
 
Please let me know if we have some solution for this.
 
Best Regards,

It's an unsurprising result since telnet doesn't connect either:
  
telnet blu-m.hotmail.com 25
Trying 65.55.121.94...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection timed out

Try port 443:

telnet blu-m.hotmail.com 443
Trying 65.55.121.94...
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.
