rstudio
Linux shared mail box
Hello.
A friend writes that they "have Linux-based email infrastructure that is limited, for instance our Outlook email addresses are not mapped to Linux user ids, so all the messages sent from Linux come from the same internal address. That doesn't really matter for the messages generated from R (or any other) scrips on Linux because we don't need to reply to them. The issue with blastula is that Linux users don't have direct personalized access to SMTP, they just call mailx command to send messages via the default Linux transport (postfix I belive). Can blastula be configured to do the same?"
Thanks for considering this for the next release.
A '+1' to this comment. I would like to deploy this package to a Unix server, and use it to compile daily email reports for some colleagues. If I want to send an email at the moment, I can use the bash command like this:
"Hello everyone this is my email content" | mailx -s "The email subject" -r [email protected] [email protected]
I suspect it is relatively easy to immplement this, I just don't know how.... :-)
