Meteorjs sendVerificationEmail error

Question

I setup the EMAIL_URL

process.env.MAIL_URL="smtp://xx%40gmail.com:[email protected]:465"

This worked find with

Email.send({
    to: '[email protected]',
    from: '[email protected]',
    subject: 'test',
    text: 'some text'
});

However this failed

Accounts.config({
    sendVerificationEmail: true
})

or

Accounts.sendVerificationEmail(userId,email)

giving me errors

Exception while invoking method 'createUser' RecipientError: Can't send mail - all recipients were rejected

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

I fixed this by adding the following to my server code:

Accounts.emailTemplates.from = "[email protected]";

I don't know why this should matter because I had already properly set my MAIL_URL with my username, but it does! :)
