The function is working very fine in windows but it is not working in linux environment....it gives an exception of Sending the email to the following server failed : smtp.gmail.com:465

Function:

library(mailR) email <- send.mail(from = sender_mail, to = recipient_email, subject = "Thank You for Contacting Us..", body = message encoding = "utf-8", smtp = list(host.name = "smtp.gmail.com", port = 465, user.name = gmail_username, passwd = gmail_password, ssl = TRUE), authenticate = TRUE, send = TRUE)

Traceback:

I am getting exactly (maybe?) the same kind of error on OSX. I am also trying to send from port 25 but it returns an error as though it is sending on port 465

@manojasati @benwhicks Please make sure that you have no network connectivity problem. Therefore try to connect with telnet to smtp.gmail.com on port 465. If it fails mailr is not the problem.

I have the same issue on mac OS X. I get the error on the first attempt but the second attempt always works. To me it seems as if the first connection attempt to the gmail times out but the second works. I do not face this issue when using MS Exchange.

I am having a similar issue using Windows 10, I am receiving the same Error message attempting to send an email to my gmail account.

library(mailR) send.mail(from = "sender@gmail.com", to = c("recipiant@gmail.com"), subject = "tester email", body = "this is a test to see if this email system works", smtp = list(host.name = "smtp.gmail.com", port = 625, user.name = "gmail_username", passwd = "password", ss1 = TRUE), authenticate = TRUE, send = TRUE)

I'm having the same error luran1 has on Windows 10 as well.

[jrobertsz366]

I cannot get telnet smtp.gmail.com 465 to work. It always times out. Is that port even valid nowdays?

[jrobertsz366]

btw telnet smtp.gmail.com 587 works.
