Im trying to send a email using node.js - nodemailer module , my whole code looks like

var nodemailer=require("nodemailer");

http.createServer(function(req,res){
     res.writeHead(200, {"Content-Type": "text/plain"});
     var transporter = nodemailer.createTransport('SMTP',{
    service: 'gmail',
    auth: {
        user: '[email protected]', // my mail
        pass: 'mypassword'
    }
});
var mailOptions = {
    from: 'Fred Foo ✔ <[email protected]>', // sender address 
    to: '[email protected]', // the same mail = want to send it to myself
    subject: 'Hello ✔', // Subject line 
    text: 'Hello world ✔', // plaintext body 
    html: '<b>Hello world ✔</b>' // html body 
};
    transporter.sendMail(mailOptions, function(error, info){
    if(error){
        return console.log(error);

Can I use Gmail with Nodemailer?

To get Gmail working with nodemailer, most times, all you have to do is configure your google account by allowing access to "less secure apps" from the security. With this enabled, you could use your Google email address and password for nodemailer and start sending emails right away.

What is the SMTP port for Gmail?

The outgoing SMTP server, smtp.gmail.com , requires TLS. Use port 465 , or port 587 if your client begins with plain text before issuing the STARTTLS command.

Does Nodemailer have a limit?

If you have a Gmail account, you could use that account with nodemailer directly. However, there are several downsides for doing so. First, there is a limit on outbound email: 500 per day, and each recipient counts as 1 outbound email.

Try installing nodemailer-smtp-transport and then use it inside your createTransport function.

var smtpTransport = require('nodemailer-smtp-transport');

var transport = nodemailer.createTransport(smtpTransport({
    service: 'gmail',
    auth: {
        user: '[email protected]', // my mail
        pass: 'mypassword'
    }
}));

And try also while in your google account enabling this: https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps

I really think this should be your auth problem
