Good morning folks,

Recently calls to sendmail() in the sendmailR package have occasionally failed with the error "if (code == lcode) { : argument is of length zero".  The only thing we are setting in the control argument is the smtp server (control=list(smtpServer='smtp.epa.gov')), so the port and other settings rely on default values.

In going through the sendmailR source it looks like the call to readLines(con=sock, n=1), from which the value of 'code' is determined, is returning NULL.  Has anyone come across this situation, and better yet have you found a fix for it?

Because this occurs in a pseudorandom/haphazard fashion, there is no repeatable example to post.

Thank you for your time,
cur
