Nodemailer - Works locally but not on production

Question

https://gist.github.com/anonymous/ba82f74071cc38a0700b

Before changing some settings, e.g. host and port, it was working fine locally, but just won't work on production.

Anyone know why?

Thanks

Answer 1

i think this is happening because of port number and your firewall at this port is not allowing you to send mail over this port(80) . try with 587 or 465 which are actually the standard port number for SMTP.

changed your code a bit

/**

var nodemailer = require('nodemailer');
transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
  service: 'Gmail',
  //host: 'myhost',
  port: 465,
  secure: true,
  auth: {
    user: '[email protected]',
    pass: 'mypassword'
  }
});
  mailOptions = {
    from: '[email protected]',
    to: '[email protected]',
    subject: 'You received a new message at !',
    text: 'Hello Mailer',
html: ''
};
transporter.sendMail(mailOptions, function(error, info){
  if(error){
  console.log(error)
}else{
  console.log('Message sent: ' + info.response)
}
});

Disable Captcha temporarily so you can mail using new server,
