I am using the following to send emails which works on localhost but not my server.
// server
Meteor.startup(function () {
process.env.MAIL_URL="smtp://uername%40gmail.com:[email protected]:465/";
});
I get the follow error in my logs(it seems like google is blocking it for some reason, is there a way to stop that?

This is the event that I think sends initiates the email sending. I know that meteor is now setup to use mailgun, is there a way to modify this to just use mailgun instead of meteor without process.env?
Template.forgotPassword.events({
'submit #forgotPasswordForm': function(e, t) {
e.preventDefault();
var forgotPasswordForm = $(e.currentTarget),
email = trimInput(forgotPasswordForm.find('#forgotPasswordEmail').val().toLowerCase());
if (isNotEmpty(email) && isEmail(email)) {
Accounts.forgotPassword({email: email}, function(err) {
if (err) {
if (err.message === 'User not found [403]') {
Session.set('alert', 'This email does not exist.');
} else {
Session.set('alert', 'We\'re sorry but something went wrong.');
}
} else {
Session.set('alert', 'Email Sent. Please check your mailbox to reset your password.');
}
});
}
return false;
},
'click #returnToSignIn': function(e, t) {
Session.set('showForgotPassword', null);
return false;
},
});

To help keep your account secure, starting May 30, 2022, Google will no longer support the use of third-party apps or devices which ask you to sign in to your Google Account using only your username and password.
You can't send emails using JavaScript code alone due to the lack of support for server sockets. For this, you need a server-side language that talks to the SMTP server. You can use JS in conjunction with a server script that will send emails from the browser based on your requests.
js, right click on the index. html file > open in the browser. Once the browser loads the page, click on the button Send Email. That's it.. the mail is sent successfully.
I encountered a similar problem. The method send email work locally but not on the hosting modulus. For my part this was due to a blocking google security (access to my gmail account from Seattle while I live in France has probably seemed fishy to google). I went through several pages to authorize less strict connections to my gmail account. On this page I saw the blockage. So I allowed the less secure applications and allowed access to my account.
If it helps someone ..

You need to URL encode your username and password else Meteor confuses the two '@' signs with each other.
You could do this in your JS console (with encodeURIComponent(username)) and usually end up with something like
user%40gmail.com:[email protected]:465
You could use Mailgun in the same way, or Mandrill, or any other smtp provider. It's just the username format causing the issues.
