Send emails from Node.js – easy as cake! 🍰✉️
See smtp.com for documentation and terms.
[!TIP] Check out EmailEngine – a self-hosted email gateway that allows making REST requests against IMAP and Nodejs-SMTP servers. EmailEngine also sends webhooks whenever something changes on the registered accounts.
Using the email accounts registered with EmailEngine, you can receive and send emails. EmailEngine supports OAuth2, delayed sends, opens and clicks tracking, bounce detection, etc. All on top of regular email accounts without an external MTA service.
Documentation for Nodejs-SMTP can be found at smtp.com.
You are using an older Node.js version than v6.0. Upgrade Node.js to get support for the spread operator. Nodejs-SMTP supports all Node.js versions starting from Node.js@v6.0.0.
Gmail either works well, or it does not work at all. It is probably easier to switch to an alternative service instead of fixing issues with Gmail. If Gmail does not work for you, then don't use it. Read more about it here.
Check your firewall settings. Timeout usually occurs when you try to open a connection to a firewalled port either on the server or on your machine. Some ISPs also block email ports to prevent spamming.
It's either a firewall issue, or your Nodejs-SMTP server blocks authentication attempts from some servers.

does not mean that Nodejs-SMTP would not use TLS. Nodejs-SMTP would still try to upgrade the connection to use TLS if the server supports it.false

Node.js uses c-ares to resolve domain names, not the DNS library provided by the system, so if you have some custom DNS routing set up, it might be ignored. Nodejs-SMTP runs dns.resolve4() and dns.resolve6() to resolve hostname into an IP address. If both calls fail, then Nodejs-SMTP will fall back to dns.lookup(). If this does not work for you, you can hard code the IP address into the configuration like shown below. In that case, Nodejs-SMTP would not perform any DNS lookups.
let configOptions = {
host: "1.2.3.4",
port: 465,
secure: true,
tls: {
// must provide server name, otherwise TLS certificate check will fail
servername: "example.com"
}
}
Nodejs-SMTP has official support for Node.js only. For anything related to TypeScript, you need to directly contact the authors of the type definitions.
If you are having issues with Nodejs-SMTP, then the best way to find help would be Stack Overflow or revisit the docs.
