rApache notice! *** stack smashing detected *** with mailR::send_mail

[alexvpickering]

To reproduce, get rApache to run a script with the following:

mailR::send.mail(
         from = '',
          to = "",
          replyTo = "",
          subject = "Subject of the email",
          body = "Body of the email",
          smtp = list(host.name = '',
                      port = 25,
                      user.name = '',
                      passwd = '',
                      ssl = TRUE),
          authenticate = TRUE,
          send = TRUE)

To get Amazon SES credentials (what I used) go here. You'll have to verify an email address for to, replyTo, and from (can all be the same) here.

mailR uses rJava so you may have to edit /etc/apache2/envvars as described in #47.

I personally got around the issue by using the aws.ses package instead, but thought it might be useful to post the issue in case it has broader implications.
