sendmailR: how to handle occasional "Unknown SMTP code" errors

I'm using sendmailR in my R script to send notifications.

Sometimes notification fails with the following error:

Unknown SMTP code: 452
Error in if (code == lcode) { : argument is of length zero

Execution halts.

How can I handle such errors, so that even if notification fails the script runs on?

Wrap the try function around sendmail (assuming you use sendmail, if not then wrap it around the function or code that produces the error) this way:

 try(sendmail(from,to,subject), silent=T)

You can set silent to FALSE if you want the error message to appear but still continue with the process
