I try to use nodemailer to implement a contact form using NodeJS but it works only on local it doesn't work on a remote server...
My error message :

My controller :
exports.contact = function(req, res){
var name = req.body.name;
var from = req.body.from;
var message = req.body.message;
var to = '*******#gmail.com';
var smtpTransport = nodemailer.createTransport("SMTP",{
service: "Gmail",
auth: {
user: "******#gmail.com",
pass: "*****"
}
});
var mailOptions = {
from: from,
to: to,
subject: name+' | new message !',
text: message
}
smtpTransport.sendMail(mailOptions, function(error, response){
if(error){
console.log(error);
}else{
res.redirect('/');
}
});
}
I solved this by going to the following url (while connected to google with the account I want to send mail from):
https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps
There I enabled less secure apps.
Done
See nodemailer's official guide to connecting Gmail:
https://community.nodemailer.com/using-gmail/
-
It works for me after doing this:
Enable less secure apps - https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps
Disable Captcha temporarily so you can connect the new device/server - https://accounts.google.com/b/0/displayunlockcaptcha
Easy Solution:
var nodemailer = require('nodemailer');
var smtpTransport = require('nodemailer-smtp-transport');
var transporter = nodemailer.createTransport(smtpTransport({
service: 'gmail',
host: 'smtp.gmail.com',
auth: {
user: 'somerealemail#gmail.com',
pass: 'realpasswordforaboveaccount'
}
}));
var mailOptions = {
from: 'somerealemail#gmail.com',
to: 'friendsgmailacc#gmail.com',
subject: 'Sending Email using Node.js[nodemailer]',
text: 'That was easy!'
};
transporter.sendMail(mailOptions, function(error, info){
if (error) {
console.log(error);
} else {
console.log('Email sent: ' + info.response);
}
});
Step 1:
go here https://myaccount.google.com/lesssecureapps and enable for less secure apps. If this does not work then
Step 2
go here https://accounts.google.com/DisplayUnlockCaptcha and enable/continue and then try.
for me step 1 alone didn't work so i had to go to step 2.
i also tried removing the nodemailer-smtp-transport package and to my surprise it works. but then when i restarted my system it gave me same error, so i had to go and turn on the less secure app (i disabled it after my work).
then for fun i just tried it with off(less secure app) and vola it worked again!
You should use an XOAuth2 token to connect to Gmail. No worries, Nodemailer already knows about that:
var smtpTransport = nodemailer.createTransport('SMTP', {
service: 'Gmail',
auth: {
XOAuth2: {
user: smtpConfig.user,
clientId: smtpConfig.client_id,
clientSecret: smtpConfig.client_secret,
refreshToken: smtpConfig.refresh_token,
accessToken: smtpConfig.access_token,
timeout: smtpConfig.access_timeout - Date.now()
}
}
};
You'll need to go to the Google Cloud Console to register your app. Then you need to retrieve access tokens for the accounts you wish to use. You can use passportjs for that.
Here's how it looks in my code:
var passport = require('passport'),
GoogleStrategy = require('./google_oauth2'),
config = require('../config');
passport.use('google-imap', new GoogleStrategy({
clientID: config('google.api.client_id'),
clientSecret: config('google.api.client_secret')
}, function (accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) {
console.log(accessToken, refreshToken, profile);
done(null, {
access_token: accessToken,
refresh_token: refreshToken,
profile: profile
});
}));
exports.mount = function (app) {
app.get('/add-imap/:address?', function (req, res, next) {
passport.authorize('google-imap', {
scope: [
'https://mail.google.com/',
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email'
],
callbackURL: config('web.vhost') + '/add-imap',
accessType: 'offline',
approvalPrompt: 'force',
loginHint: req.params.address
})(req, res, function () {
res.send(req.user);
});
});
};
Worked fine:
1- install nodemailer, package if not installed
(type in cmd) : npm install nodemailer
2- go to https://myaccount.google.com/lesssecureapps and turn on Allow less secure apps.
3- write code:
var nodemailer = require('nodemailer');
var transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
service: 'gmail',
auth: {
user: 'trueUsername#gmail.com',
pass: 'truePassword'
}
});
const mailOptions = {
from: 'any#any.com', // sender address
to: 'true#true.com', // list of receivers
subject: 'test mail', // Subject line
html: '<h1>this is a test mail.</h1>'// plain text body
};
transporter.sendMail(mailOptions, function (err, info) {
if(err)
console.log(err)
else
console.log(info);
})
4- enjoy!
I had the same problem. Allowing "less secure apps" in my Google security settings made it work!
Non of the above solutions worked for me. I used the code that exists in the documentation of NodeMailer. It looks like this:
let transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
host: 'smtp.gmail.com',
port: 465,
secure: true,
auth: {
type: 'OAuth2',
user: 'user#example.com',
serviceClient: '113600000000000000000',
privateKey: '-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\nMIIEvgIBADANBg...',
accessToken: 'ya29.Xx_XX0xxxxx-xX0X0XxXXxXxXXXxX0x',
expires: 1484314697598
}
});
Same problem happened to me too. I tested my system on localhost then deployed to the server (which is located at different country) then when I try the system on production server I saw this error. I tried these to fix it:
https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps Enabled it but it was not my solution
https://g.co/allowaccess I allowed access from outside for a limited time and this solved my problem.
I found the simplest method, described in this article mentioned in Greg T's answer, was to create an App Password which is available after turning on 2FA for the account.
myaccount.google.com > Sign-in & security > Signing in to Google > App Passwords
This gives you an alternative password for the account, then you just configure nodemailer as a normal SMTP service.
var smtpTransport = nodemailer.createTransport({
host: "smtp.gmail.com",
port: 587,
auth: {
user: "username#gmail.com",
pass: "app password"
}
});
While Google recommend Oauth2 as the best option, this method is easy and hasn't been mentioned in this question yet.
Extra tip: I also found you can add your app name to the "from" address and GMail does not replace it with just the account email like it does if you try to use another address. ie.
from: 'My Pro App Name <username#gmail.com>'
It is resolved using nodemailer-smtp-transport module inside createTransport.
var smtpTransport = require('nodemailer-smtp-transport');
var transport = nodemailer.createTransport(smtpTransport({
service: 'gmail',
auth: {
user: '*******#gmail.com',
pass: '*****password'
}
}));
Many answers advice to allow less secure apps which is honestly not a clean solution.
Instead you should generate an app password dedicated to this use:
Log in to your Google account
Go to security
Under Signing in to Google enable 2-Step Verification
Under Signing in to Google click on App passwords.
You'll now generate a new password. Select the app as Mail and the device as Other (Custom name) and name it.
Save the app password
You can now use this app password instead of your log in password.
Try disabling captchas in your gmail account; probably being triggered based on IP address of requestor.
See: How to use GMail as a free SMTP server and overcome captcha
For me is working this way, using port and security (I had issues to send emails from gmail using PHP without security settings)
I hope will help someone.
var sendEmail = function(somedata){
var smtpConfig = {
host: 'smtp.gmail.com',
port: 465,
secure: true, // use SSL,
// you can try with TLS, but port is then 587
auth: {
user: '***#gmail.com', // Your email id
pass: '****' // Your password
}
};
var transporter = nodemailer.createTransport(smtpConfig);
// replace hardcoded options with data passed (somedata)
var mailOptions = {
from: 'xxxx#gmail.com', // sender address
to: 'yyyy#gmail.com', // list of receivers
subject: 'Test email', // Subject line
text: 'this is some text', //, // plaintext body
html: '<b>Hello world ✔</b>' // You can choose to send an HTML body instead
}
transporter.sendMail(mailOptions, function(error, info){
if(error){
return false;
}else{
console.log('Message sent: ' + info.response);
return true;
};
});
}
exports.contact = function(req, res){
// call sendEmail function and do something with it
sendEmail(somedata);
}
all the config are listed here (including examples)
If you use Express, express-mailerwrapsnodemailervery nicely and is very easy to use:
//# config/mailer.js
module.exports = function(app) {
if (!app.mailer) {
var mailer = require('express-mailer');
console.log('[MAIL] Mailer using user ' + app.config.mail.auth.user);
return mailer.extend(app, {
from: app.config.mail.auth.user,
host: 'smtp.gmail.com',
secureConnection: true,
port: 465,
transportMethod: 'SMTP',
auth: {
user: app.config.mail.auth.user,
pass: app.config.mail.auth.pass
}
});
}
};
//# some.js
require('./config/mailer.js)(app);
app.mailer.send("path/to/express/views/some_view", {
to: ctx.email,
subject: ctx.subject,
context: ctx
}, function(err) {
if (err) {
console.error("[MAIL] Email failed", err);
return;
}
console.log("[MAIL] Email sent");
});

For some reason, just allowing less secure app config did not work for me even the captcha thing. I had to do another step which is enabling IMAP config:
From google's help page: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7126229?p=WebLoginRequired&visit_id=1-636691283281086184-1917832285&rd=3#cantsignin
In the top right, click Settings Settings.
Click Settings.
Click the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab.
In the "IMAP Access" section, select
Enable IMAP.
Click Save Changes.
all your code is okay only the things left is just go to the link https://myaccount.google.com/security
and keep scroll down and you will found Allow less secure apps: ON and keep ON, you will find no error.
Just add "host" it will work .
host: 'smtp.gmail.com'
Then enable "lesssecureapps" by clicking bellow link
https://myaccount.google.com/lesssecureapps
Google has disabled the Less Secure App Access, Below is New Process to use Gmail in Nodejs
Now you have to enable 2 Step Verification in Google (How to Enable 2 Step Auth)
You need to generate App Specific Password. Goto Google My Account > Security
Click on App Password > Select Other and you will get App Password
You can use normal smtp with email and App password.
exports.mailSend = (res, fileName, object1, object2, to, subject, callback)=> {
var smtpTransport = nodemailer.createTransport('SMTP',{ //smtpTransport
host: 'hostname,
port: 1234,
secureConnection: false,
// tls: {
// ciphers:'SSLv3'
// },
auth: {
user: 'username',
pass: 'password'
}
});
res.render(fileName, {
info1: object1,
info2: object2
}, function (err, HTML) {
smtpTransport.sendMail({
from: "mail#from.com",
to: to,
subject: subject,
html: HTML
}
, function (err, responseStatus) {
if(responseStatus)
console.log("checking dta", responseStatus.message);
callback(err, responseStatus)
});
});
}
You must add secureConnection type in you code.
I was using an old version of nodemailer 0.4.1 and had this issue. I updated to 0.5.15 and everything is working fine now.
Edited package.json to reflect changes then
npm install
Just attend those:
1- Gmail authentication for allow low level emails does not accept before you restart your client browser
2- If you want to send email with nodemailer and you wouldnt like to use xouath2 protocol there you should write as secureconnection:false like below
const routes = require('express').Router();
var nodemailer = require('nodemailer');
var smtpTransport = require('nodemailer-smtp-transport');
routes.get('/test', (req, res) => {
res.status(200).json({ message: 'test!' });
});
routes.post('/Email', (req, res) =>{
var smtpTransport = nodemailer.createTransport({
host: "smtp.gmail.com",
secureConnection: false,
port: 587,
requiresAuth: true,
domains: ["gmail.com", "googlemail.com"],
auth: {
user: "your gmail account",
pass: "your password*"
}
});
var mailOptions = {
from: 'from#gmail.com',
to:'to#gmail.com',
subject: req.body.subject,
//text: req.body.content,
html: '<p>'+req.body.content+' </p>'
};
smtpTransport.sendMail(mailOptions, (error, info) => {
if (error) {
return console.log('Error while sending mail: ' + error);
} else {
console.log('Message sent: %s', info.messageId);
}
smtpTransport.close();
});
})
module.exports = routes;
first install nodemailer
npm install nodemailer --save
import in to js file
const nodemailer = require("nodemailer");
const smtpTransport = nodemailer.createTransport({
service: "Gmail",
auth: {
user: "example#gmail.com",
pass: "password"
},
tls: {
rejectUnauthorized: false
}
});
const mailOptions = {
from: "example#gmail.com",
to: sending#gmail.com,
subject: "Welcome to ",
text: 'hai send from me'.
};
smtpTransport.sendMail(mailOptions, function (error, response) {
if (error) {
console.log(error);
}
else {
console.log("mail sent");
}
});
working in my application
You may need to "Allow Less Secure Apps" in your Gmail account (it's all the way at the bottom). You also may need to "Allow access to your Google account".
You also may need to "Allow access to your Google account".
This is my Nodemailer configuration which worked after some research.
Step 1: Enable lesssecureapp
https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps
Step 2: The Nodemailer configuration for Gmail
Setting up the transporter : A transporter is going to be an object that can send mail. It is the transport configuration object, connection URL, or a transport
plugin instance
let transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
service: 'gmail', // the service used
auth: {
user: process.env.EMAIL_FROM, // authentication details of sender, here the details are coming from .env file
pass: process.env.EMAIL_FROM_PASSWORD,
},
});
Writing the message
const message = {
from: 'myemail#gmail.com', // sender email address
to: "receiver#example.com, receiver2#gmail.com", // reciever email address
subject: `The subject goes here`,
html: `The body of the email goes here in HTML`,
attachments: [
{
filename: `${name}.pdf`,
path: path.join(__dirname, `../../src/assets/books/${name}.pdf`),
contentType: 'application/pdf',
},
],
Sending the mail
transporter.sendMail(message, function (err, info) {
if (err) { // if error
console.log(err);
} else {
console.log(info); // if success
}
});
I also had issues with nodemailer email sending when running on Vercel lambda in production.
What fixed it in my case was to await for sendMail Promise to resolve.
I also added nodemailer-smtp-transport like suggested in this thread but I don't think it made a difference.
Here is my whole function:
const nodemailer = require('nodemailer');
const smtpTransport = require('nodemailer-smtp-transport');
const transporter = nodemailer.createTransport(smtpTransport({
service: 'gmail',
auth: {
user: '***#gmail.com',
pass: process.env.SMTP_PASSWORD,
},
}));
async function contact(req: any, res: any) {
try {
const response = await transporter.sendMail({
from: '"*** <***gmail.com>', // sender address
to: "***#gmail.com", // list of receivers
subject: `***`, // Subject line
html: `${req.body.message}<br/><br/>${req.body.firstname} ${req.body.lastname} - <b>${req.body.email}</b>`, // html body
});
} catch (error: any) {
console.log(error);
return res.status(error.statusCode || 500).json({ error: error.message });
}
return res.status(200).json({ error: "" });
}
export default contact;
As pointed out by Yaach, as of May 30th, 2022, Google no longer supports Less Secure Apps, and instead switched over to their own Gmail API.
Here is the sample code for Gmail SMTP with nodemailer.
"use strict";
const nodemailer = require("nodemailer");
async function main() {
let transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
host: "smtp.gmail.com",
transportMethod: "SMTP",
secureConnection: true,
port: 465,
secure: true, // upgrade later with STARTTLS
auth: {
user: "yourEmail#gmail.com",
pass: "Your App Specific password",
},
});
let info = await transporter.sendMail(
{
from: "yourEmail#gmail.com",
to: "to#gmail.com",
subject: "Testing Message Message",
text: "I hope this message gets delivered!",
html: "<b>Hello world?</b>", // html body
},
(err, info) => {
if (err) {
console.log(err);
} else {
console.log(info.envelope);
console.log(info.messageId);
}
}
);
}
main();
Less secure option is not supported anymore by gmail.
For sending email from third party, gmail is also not allowing with its user password.
You should now use App Password to resolve this issue.
Hope this link will help to set your app password.
https://support.google.com/mail/answer/185833?hl=en
There is another option to use SendGrid for email delivery with no failure. A lot of the time, Nodemailer gives failure for mail which could happen frequently.
Nodemailer can be found in the link.

I'm trying to setup ZOHO mail with Nodemailer. The mail is configured correctly and I'm using following code to send the mail, but still getting error in sending mail:
const nodemailer = require('nodemailer');
let from = `Company Name <contact#company.com>`
let transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
// host: "smtp-mail.gmail.com",
host: 'smtp.zoho.com',
port: 465,
secure: true,
auth: {
user: "contact#company.com",
pass: "mypassword"
}
});
// Mail response to User
const mailResponse = {
from: from,
to: `userName`,
subject: "📞 Thanks For Connecting With Company Name",
html: // mail body
}
try {
await transporter.sendMail(mailResponse);
res.status(200).json({ message: "Message Sent" });
} catch (err) {
res.status(400).json({ message: "Unexpected Error!!! Please try again" });
}
Please let me know how can I fix this issue. i have tried every possible solution given on website.
Try this -
service: "gmail",
host: "smtp.gmail.com",
auth: {
user: "username#company.com",
pass: "yourpassword"
}
At the place of user put your email and in pass but your password or you can get these from env to be safe.
Got an error I put on less app option on Gmail I do not have 2fa my credential I perfect and I can log them in my file to see that's my file read it well but still got this error.
const nodemailer = require("nodemailer");
const smtpTransport = require("nodemailer-smtp-transport");
require("dotenv").config();
console.log(process.env.MAIL);
let transporter = nodemailer.createTransport(
smtpTransport({
service: "Gmail",
host: "smtp.gmail.com",
auth: {
user: process.env.EMAIL,
pass: process.env.PASSWORD,
},
})
);
// do it reactively the to
let mailOptions = {
from: process.env.EMAIL,
to: "ethan.sayagh#gmail.com",
subject: "Congrat you bought x amout",
text: "Made by ethanolle",
};
transporter.sendMail(mailOptions, function (err, data) {
if (err) {
logger.info(`Invalid Mail sent`);
console.log(err);
} else {
console.log("emailsent");
}
});
The Error:
Error: Invalid login: 535-5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted.
For some reason even I had been experiencing this problem, even after enabling "allow less secure apps" Google seems to be blocking sign in attempts.
A workaround I found was to use app passwords, be highly cautious though, because anyone can sign in without restriction if they have your app password.
Note that you'll need to have two factor authentication enabled, you can set up an app password here.
I'm trying to send email using node.js and nodemailer but when I'm pressing the submit button its just loading and loading and in the end gives me a "504 Gateway Timeout Error" in the server, and "page is not working" locally.
I'm using the following code:
app.post("/postmail", function (req, res) {
var transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
host: "smtp.mailtrap.io",
port: 2525,
secure: false,
debug: true,
auth: {
user: "xxx",
password: "xxx",
},
});
var message = {
from: "a#b", // Sender address
to: "b#c", // List of recipients
subject: "Design Your Model S | Tesla", // Subject line
text: "Have the most fun you can in a car. Get your Tesla today!", // Plain text body
};
transporter.sendMail(message, function (err, info) {
if (err) {
console.log(err);
} else {
console.log(info);
res.render("landing");
}
});
});
I must also mention that, I tried multiple smtp servers with multiple ports and configuration.
does someone know what to do?
thanks
cuase all of the smtp providers use tls/ssl for secuirity reasons. try to use secure configuration:
var transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
host: 'smtp.mailtrap.io',
port: 465,
secure: true,
debug: true,
auth: {
user: 'xxx',
password: 'xxx'
}
});
Iam tryin to use nodemailer to send mails using both my local system as well as on the heroku app but in both case iam getting timeout here is my code , now i have tried using both gmail as well as smtp email but still nothing works

{
if(req.METHOD=="POST")
{
var email=req.body.email;

if(err){
res.render('final.ejs',{message:err});
return console.log(err);
}
var success="message sent";
res.render('final.ejs',{message:success});
});
}
};
please go through the code and let me know what changes I can make to get this working.
It's likely there your not actually running an SMTP server on either Heroku or from localhost, nodemailer does not do this for you. You can use googles free smtp server as detailed here https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-google-s-smtp-server Which will transport your mail.
let transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
host: 'smtp.gmail.com',
port: 465,
secure: true, // true for 465, false for other ports
auth: {
user: account.user, // generated ethereal user
pass: account.pass // generated ethereal password
}
});
Change your transporter to the above and also provide gmail login details, then providing you have the same details inside your mail options it will show up from chiragunplugged#chiragunplugged.com as described in the options.
In the localhost its not working because a secure and safetly connection is required for sending an email but using gmail[smtp(simple mail transfer protocol)] we can achieve it functionality.
Don't forget to first do the setting - Allow less secure apps to access account.
its given permission for access gmail account.
by default this settings is off and you simply turn it on. Now move on coding part.

I'm getting an authentication error when using Nodemailer with Mailgun. Nodemailer docs state that the library works nicely with Mailgun SMTP, but I keep getting this error when running my app:
{ [AuthError: Invalid login - *** *.*.* Mailgun is not loving your login or password]
name: 'AuthError',
data: '*** *.*.* Mailgun is not loving your login or password',
stage: 'auth' }
This is how I set up my transport:
#Transport = nodemailer.createTransport("SMTP",
service: "Mailgun"
auth:
user: "api"
pass: "**********************"
)
I'm 100% sure my api key is correct. Are there any other requirements I'm missing?
For what it's worth, it works perfectly when I use a Gmail address.
you cannot use api key with smtp transport.
Go to mailgun console and grab smtp credentials from domain config and use those.
You can use https://github.com/orliesaurus/nodemailer-mailgun-transport to send emails using the API, rather than SMTP.
var nodemailer = require('nodemailer');
var mg = require('nodemailer-mailgun-transport');
var auth = { auth: {
api_key: 'key-1234123412341234',
domain: 'one of your domain names listed at your https://mailgun.com/app/domains'}}
var nodemailer = require('nodemailer');
var mg = require('nodemailer-mailgun-transport');
// This is your API key that you retrieve from www.mailgun.com/cp (free up to 10K monthly emails)
var auth = {enter code here
auth: {`enter code here`
api_key: 'key-1234123412341234',
domain: 'one of your domain names listed at your https://mailgun.com/app/domains'
}
}
var nodemailerMailgun = nodemailer.createTransport(mg(auth));
nodemailerMailgun.sendMail({
from: 'myemail#example.com',
to: 'recipient#domain.com', // An array if you have multiple recipients.
cc:'second#domain.com',
bcc:'secretagent#company.gov',
subject: 'Hey you, awesome!',
'h:Reply-To': 'reply2this#company.com',
//You can use "html:" to send HTML email content. It's magic!
html: '<b>Wow Big powerful letters</b>',
//You can use "text:" to send plain-text content. It's oldschool!
text: 'Mailgun rocks, pow pow!'
}, function (err, info) {
if (err) {
console.log('Error: ' + err);
}
else {
console.log('Response: ' + info);
}
});
