• options defines connection data
  • options.port is the port to connect to (defaults to 25 or 465)
  • options.host is the hostname or IP address to connect to (defaults to 'localhost')
  • options.secure defines if the connection should use SSL (if true) or not (if false)

  • options.connectionTimeout how many milliseconds to wait for the connection to establish
  • options.greetingTimeout how many milliseconds to wait for the greeting after connection is established
  • options.socketTimeout how many milliseconds of inactivity to allow
  • options.debug if true, the connection emits all traffic between client and server as 'log' events
  • options.authMethod defines preferred authentication method, eg. 'PLAIN'
  • options.tls defines additional options to be passed to the socket constructor, eg. {rejectUnauthorized: true}

Example

var transport = nodemailer.createTransport(smtpTransport({
    host: 'localhost',
    port: 25,
    auth: {
        user: 'username',
        pass: 'password'
    },
    maxConnections: 5,
    maxMessages: 10
}));

Using well-known services

If you do not want to specify the hostname, port and security settings for a well known service, you can use it by its name.

smtpTransport({
    service: 'gmail',
    auth: ..
});
