I set environment variables to hide my password and it was working fine in development. I could send emails but when I deployed the website it stopped working. What is the problem?

I am having the same issue with nodemailer except when I uploaded it to heroku, it was still working perfectly. Months passed and then it just stopped working. But still when I run the server on my laptop it can send emails, but when I upload it to heroku or other providers like google clouds it fails to send any emails… so weird. I didnt change anything in the code, and it just stopped working by itself… Have you got any solution what it might be?
Hi @inesbarataborges,
It’s going to be really hard to debug this without any information both for yourself or anyone in the community. Can you try and dig up some logs? Usually, the error_log provides information that 90% of the situations can help with resolving it.
