[R] Sending carbon copy mails from R

Thanks prof. Ripley. I looked into create.post function. Unfortunately
this is not useful in my case. I want to send emails programmatically
from a server machine (error notifications etc.)
I am able to send emails from my workstation using Outlook com object
without any issues. However, on server machine I don't have access to
outlook object (or any other email client). Hence the need to explore
SMTP clients to be able to send mails from server. 


Regards,
Alok

Note that sendmailR is not 'from R'.  There are other possibilities, and

  I use create.post() from R itself, modified as I need.
