nodemailer - can't send mail with rediffmail

I'm trying to send mail from rediffmail using nodemailer
Here's the code snippet
var transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
host: "smtp.rediffmail.com", // hostname
port:25, secureConnection: false,
secure: false,
tls: {
ciphers: "SSLv3",
},
auth: {
user: process.env.MAILADDRESS,
pass: process.env.MAILPASS,
},
});
var mailOptions = {
from: process.env.MAILADDRESS,
to: email,
subject: "Sending using Node.js",
html: "<h1>hoohaa</h1>That was eafefesy!",
};
transporter.sendMail(mailOptions, (err, info) => {
if (err) {
console.log(err);
} else {
console.log(
`Password recovery Email sent to ${email} : ${info.response}`
);
}}
and the error which I get is :
{ errno: -4039, code: 'ESOCKET', syscall:
'connect', address: '202.137.235.17', port: 25, command:
'CONN' }

Maybe you could use smtp.gmail.com ?

Remove the TLS. You're not using ssl so you don't need it.

trying to setup password recovery in nodejs using nodemailer

tried to setup a password recovery in my nodejs project using nodemailer.I have got 'no recipients defined' error. how to fix the code?.
here is my code:
app.post('/forgotpass', (req, res, next)=> {
let recoveryPassword = '';
async.waterfall([
(done) => {
crypto.randomBytes(20, (err , buf) => {
let token = buf.toString('hex');
done(err, token);
});
},
(token, done) => {
User.findOne({username : req.body.username})
.then(user => {
if(!user) {
console.log("user does not exists");
return res.redirect('/forgotpass');
}
user.resetPasswordToken = token;
user.resetPasswordExpires = Date.now() + 1800000; // 1/2 hours
user.save(err => {
done(err, token, user);
});
});
},
(token, user) => {
let smtpTransport = nodemailer.createTransport({
host: 'smtp.gmail.com',
port: 465,
auth: {
user: 'test#gmail.com',
pass: 'testpass'
}
});
let mailOptions = {
to: user.email,
from : 'Ghulam Abbas myapkforest#gmail.com',
subject : 'Recovery Email from Auth Project',
text : 'Please click the following link to recover your passoword: \n\n'+
'http://'+ req.headers.host +'/reset/'+token+'\n\n'+
'If you did not request this, please ignore this email.'
};
smtpTransport.sendMail(mailOptions, err=> {
console.log(err);
res.redirect('/forgotpass');
});
}
], err => {
if(err) res.redirect('/forgotpass');
if (err )console.log(err);
});
});
and here is the error I got :

I just want the node mailer to send the mail after verifying the user exists or not

This error means that you aren't passing a mailOptions.to value, so the user.email value is empty or not a valid email address. If you utilize async/await you can write the code more concisely and avoid using async.waterfall to make it easier to debug. There are a few changes/typos noted below -
// define transport here, outside the handler
const smtpTransport = nodemailer.createTransport({
host: 'smtp.gmail.com',
port: 465,
auth: {
user: 'test#gmail.com',
pass: 'testpass'
}
});
// use async function as the handler
app.post('/forgotpass', async (req, res) => {
try {
const user = await User.findOne({username : req.body.username});
if (!user) {
console.log("user does not exists");
return res.redirect('/forgotpass');
}
// make sure you have a valid email here
console.log(`Sending email to ${user.email}`);
// get token here once we have a valid user
const token = crypto.randomBytes(20);
// update the user with the token
user.resetPasswordToken = token;
user.resetPasswordExpires = Date.now() + 1800000; // 1/2 hours
await user.save();
// send the email
await smtpTransport.sendMail({
to: user.email,
from : 'Ghulam Abbas <myapkforest#gmail.com>', // <-- wrap email address in <>
subject : 'Recovery Email from Auth Project',
text : 'Please click the following link to recover your passoword: \n\n'+ // <-- typo: "passoword" should be "password"
'http://'+ req.headers.host +'/reset/'+token+'\n\n'+ // <-- use HTTPS!
'If you did not request this, please ignore this email.'
});
} catch (err) {
// catch all exceptions here...
console.log(err);
}
// everything redirects to the GET handler for forgotpass
return res.redirect('/forgotpass');
});

Nodemailer not loggin in

I want to send an email from node backend and I am using the nodemailer library for express to achieve that. I have written the following code to configure the transport and other details for nodemailer
let transport = nodemailer.createTransport({
host: 'mail.myrandomhost.in',
port: 587,
tls: {
rejectUnauthorized:false
},
secure: false,
auth: {
user: 'me#myemail.in',
pass: 'Gr3aseMonk3y'
}
});
const message = {
from: 'me#myemail.in',
to: 'youremail#gmail.com',
subject: 'test email',
html: '<h1>Hey</h1><p>This is test <b>Tesla</b> email</p>'
};
transport.sendMail(message, function(err, info) {
if (err) {
console.log('-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=');
console.log("FAILED");
console.log('=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-');
console.log(err)
} else {
console.log('====================================');
console.log("Email sent");
console.log('====================================');
console.log(info);
}
});
When I run this, I get the following error
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
FAILED
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

}
I am using the correct details. How do I solve this?

You entered the wrong data. you must change host, from to real addresses.
Example:
let transport = nodemailer.createTransport({
host: 'smtp.gmail.com',
port: 465,
tls: {
rejectUnauthorized:true
},
secure: false,
auth: {
user: 'yourRealEmail#gmail.com',
pass: 'yourPassword'
}
});
const message = {
from: 'yourRealEmail#gmail.com',
to: 'RealEmailAddress#gmail.com',
subject: 'test email',
html: '<h1>Hey</h1><p>This is test <b>Tesla</b> email</p>'
};
transport.sendMail(message, function(err, info) {
if (err) {
console.log('-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=');
console.log("FAILED");
console.log('=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-');
console.log(err)
} else {
console.log('====================================');
console.log("Email sent");
console.log('====================================');
console.log(info);
}
});

Issue with requiring of nodemailer in React.js;

I am trying to send an email after registration to a user. But I am having an issue with requiring of nodemailer module. I am getting the following error:
-The version of my npm is: 6.2.0

Nodemailer is giving error

I'm using Nodemailer for sending a forget password mail with Gmail service.I tried to reach to the same error earlier in the StackOverflow, but I couldn't find the solution. Please help me, I have no idea why it is giving error like,
"TypeError: Cannot create property 'mailer' on string 'smtpTransport'"
Here is my code below-
var nodemailer = require('nodemailer');
app.post('/forgot', function(req, res, next) {
async.waterfall([
function(done) {
crypto.randomBytes(20, function(err, buf) {
var token = buf.toString('hex');
done(err, token);
});
},
function(token, done) {
User.findOne({ email: req.body.email }, function(err, user) {
if (!user) {
req.flash('error', 'No account with that email address exists.');
return res.redirect('/forgot');
}
user.resetPasswordToken = token;
user.resetPasswordExpires = Date.now() + 3600000; // 1 hour
user.save(function(err) {
done(err, token, user);
});
});
},
function(token, user, done) {
console.log(token, "Token");
console.log(user, "user")
var smtpTransport = nodemailer.createTransport('SMTP', {
service: 'gmail',
auth: {
user: 'abc#gmail.com',
pass: '123456'
}
});
var mailOptions = {
to: user.email,
from: 'myproducts#mailinator.com',
subject: 'My Products Password Reset',
text: 'You are receiving this because you (or someone else) have requested the reset of the password for your account.\n\n' +
'Please click on the following link, or paste this into your browser to complete the process:\n\n' +
'http://' + req.headers.host + '/reset/' + token + '\n\n' +
'If you did not request this, please ignore this email and your password will remain unchanged.\n'
};
smtpTransport.sendMail(mailOptions, function(err) {
req.flash('info', 'An e-mail has been sent to ' + user.email + ' with further instructions.');
done(err, 'done');
});
}
], function(err) {
if (err) return next(err);
res.redirect('/forgot');
});
});
And the error is something like this-

Try this.

Link to a similar question
Gmail / Google app email service requires OAuth2 for authentication. PLAIN text password will require disabling security features manually on the google account.
To use OAuth2 in Nodemailer, refer: https://nodemailer.com/smtp/oauth2/
Sample code:
var email_smtp = nodemailer.createTransport({
host: "smtp.gmail.com",
auth: {
type: "OAuth2",
user: "youremail#gmail.com",
clientId: "CLIENT_ID_HERE",
clientSecret: "CLIENT_SECRET_HERE",
refreshToken: "REFRESH_TOKEN_HERE"
}
});
