R sendmail ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM:25 cannot be opened

Question

everyone, I wish you would be kind enough to give me a hand.

I am trying to send a mail through R and have met some problems.

library(sendmailR)
from <- sprintf("<sendmailR@\\%s>", Sys.info()[4])
to <- "<myemail@gmail.com>"
subject <- "Hello from R"
body <- list("It works!", mime_part(iris))
sendmail(from, to, subject, body,
control=list(smtpServer="ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM"))


Error in socketConnection(host = server, port = port, blocking = TRUE) : 
cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning message:
In socketConnection(host = server, port = port, blocking = TRUE) :
ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM:25 cannot be opened

My OS is Windows 7 professional. Java version is: java version "1.7.0_25"

Thank you so much!

Sending an email from R using the sendmailR package the link is about the same question but on linux system.

Could someone be so kind to enlighten me on Windows System?

Thank you again!

Try "smtp.gmail.com"; Maybe try [this guide](http://www.ehow.com/how_6785249_send-using-gmail-smtp-server.html). — Elliott Frisch, Dec 04 '13 at 07:03
I guess the problem might be somewhere of the java environment. — Levi Lau, Dec 04 '13 at 07:07
