I am trying to send an email from Rstudio by using mailR package but getting Error:
Error: EmailException (Java): Sending the email to the following server failed : smtp.gmail.com:465
version:
java version "1.8.0_291" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_291-b10) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.291-b10, mixed mode)
Code that I have tried:
mailR::send.mail(from = "xxxx@gmail.com",
to = c("xxxx@gmail.com"),
subject = "Test Email from R script",
body = "Test email from R script by ViSa",
# html = T,
smtp = list(host.name = "smtp.gmail.com",
port = 465,
user.name = "xxxx@gmail.com",
passwd = "xxxx",
ssl = TRUE),
authenticate = TRUE,
send = TRUE)
Saw some more SO post: Sending email in R getting Java error but it was suggested to use user name which I am already using but still getting this error.
Saw some videos/post about javax beans activation api etc... but there error was different. So do i need to install those.
Or what else should i do ?
Update:
I have restarted r session & ran again & now got this error :
org.apache.commons.mail.EmailException: Sending the email to the following server failed : smtp.gmail.com:465 at org.apache.commons.mail.Email.sendMimeMessage(Email.java:1410) at org.apache.commons.mail.Email.send(Email.java:1437) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Unknown Source) at RJavaTools.invokeMethod(RJavaTools.java:386) Caused by: javax.mail.MessagingException: Could not connect to SMTP host: smtp.gmail.com, port: 465; nested exception is: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: No appropriate protocol (protocol is disabled or cipher suites are inappropriate) at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.openServer(SMTPTransport.java:2055) at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.protocolConnect(SMTPTransport.java:697) at javax.mail.Service.connect(Service.java:386) at javax.mail.Service.connect(Service.java:245) at javax.mail.Service.connect(Service.java:194) at javax.mail.Transport.send0(Transport.java:253) at javax.mail.Transport.send(Transport.java:124) at org.apache.commons.mail.Email.sendMimeMessage(Email.java:1400) ... 6 more Caused by: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: No appropriate protocol (protocol is disabled or cipher suites are inappropriate) at sun.security.ssl.HandshakeContext.(Unknown Source) at sun.security.ssl.ClientHandshakeContext.(Unknown Source) at sun.security.ssl.TransportContext.kickstart(Unknown Source) at sun.security.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.startHandshake(Unknown Source) at sun.security.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.startHandshake(Unknown Source) at com.sun.mail.util.SocketFetcher.configureSSLSocket(SocketFetcher.java:543) at com.sun.mail.util.SocketFetcher.createSocket(SocketFetcher.java:348) at com.sun.mail.util.SocketFetcher.getSocket(SocketFetcher.java:215) at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.openServer(SMTPTransport.java:2019) ... 13 more Error: EmailException (Java): Sending the email to the following server failed : smtp.gmail.com:465
Now based on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QT51PX4o1qI
I 'av installed jar files from: https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.sun.activation/javax.activation/1.2.0
and
https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/javax.activation/javax.activation-api/1.2.0
and placed in C:\Program Files\R\R-4.1.0\library\mailR\java.
But I am still getting this error. Am i doing something wrong ?
