Sending email from local host with Nodemailer

Question

I\'d like to send mails on my local server but it seems not working with Nodemailer and NodeJS.

Is there any solutions to send mails from local?

Answer 1

var nodemailer = require('nodemailer');

// Create a SMTP transport object
var transport = nodemailer.createTransport("SMTP", {
    service: 'Hotmail',
    auth: {
        user: "username",
        pass: "password"
    }
});

// Message object
var message = {

// sender info
from: 'name@hotmail.com',

// Comma separated list of recipients
to: req.query.to,

// Subject of the message
subject:req.query.subject, //'Nodemailer is unicode friendly ✔', 

// plaintext body
text: req.query.text //'Hello to myself!',

 // HTML body
  /*  html:'
Hello to myself 
'+
     '
Here\'s a nyan cat for you as an embedded attachment:
'*/
};

console.log('Sending Mail');
transport.sendMail(message, function(error){
if(error){
  console.log('Error occured');
  console.log(error.message);
  return;
}
console.log('Message sent successfully!');

 // if you don't want to use this transport object anymore, uncomment    
 //transport.close(); // close the connection pool
});

You must specify the transport protocol like that of SMTP or create youy own transport.You have not specified this in you code.
