Question
Why can't I send emails in Nodejs, Ubuntu 16.04 using nodemailer.
I am using nodemailer to send mails, I was available to send mails through it in c9.io but I can’t in my droplet with Ubuntu 16.04, here is my actual code to send emails:
var sendEmail = function(subjectText, bodyText) {
var nodemailer = require('nodemailer');
var transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
service: 'gmail',
port: 443,
options: {
debug: true,
},
auth: {
user: 'altoqueMichael@gmail.com',
pass: '****'
}
});
// verify connection configuration
transporter.verify(function(error, success) {
if (error) {
console.log(error);
} else {
console.log('Server is ready to take our messages');
}
});
var mailOptions = {
from: 'altoqueMichael@gmail.com',
to: 'altoqueMichael@gmail.com',
subject: subjectText,
text: bodyText
}
transporter.sendMail(mailOptions, function(error, info) {
if(error) {
console.log('Email couldnt be sent.\n', error.response);
} else {
console.log('Email sent: ' + info.response);
}
});
}
module.exports = {
sendEmail: sendEmail
}
I have already tried shutting down the firewall, what can I do to make this work? Do you know another alternative to send mails via node'js in Digital Ocean servers?
