Nodemailer: SMTP with cPanel based emails doesn't work.

Hi,

Firstly thanks for the great tool you made. I was working on using it with cPanel's email id on shared server. I ended up with these logs

SERVER 1:
└──220-md-in-6.webhostbox.net ESMTP Exim 4.85 #2 Thu, 18 Jun 2015 09:12:14 +0000

Closing connection to the server

Let me know how do I configure this. I am using this setting as of now:

var smtpTransport = nodemailer.createTransport("SMTP", {
host: "mail.domain.com", // hostname
secureConnection: false, // TLS requires secureConnection to be false
port: 587, // port for secure SMTP
auth: {
user: "[email protected]",
pass: "password"
},
debug:true,
tls: {
rejectUnauthorized: false
}
});

Thanks,

Check the from address. Your server does not allow FROM address that uses domain literals. If you did not define the from address, then a default address is generated which might include the domain literal. Make sure that you always use a valid from address when sending emails.

Awesome man! Thanks.

Solution for mean Stack: Just define a mail id in config.mailer.from which is not blocked by cPanel.

I have same issue.
Where is the config.mailer.from ?
I changed sender name as Gmail Account name but it doesn't send again.

Updated: Changed unsecure access option in gmail settings and fixed.

@pozitivexx whenever you are sending mails, just make sure you are using right from address.

In below example set mailOptions.from = smtpConfig.auth.user to make sure mail delivers. This is cPanel/Host configuration. Contact hosting partner for more details.

// setup e-mail data with unicode symbols
var mailOptions = {
from: '"Fred Foo 👥" [email protected]', // sender address
to: '[email protected], [email protected]', // list of receivers
subject: 'Hello ✔', // Subject line
text: 'Hello world 🐴', // plaintext body
html: 'Hello world 🐴' // html body
};

you will need SSL config to make it perfect,

let transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
host: 'SOMEDOMAIN.com',
port: 465, // Port
secure: true, // this is true as port is 465
auth: {
user: '[email protected]',
pass: 'password'
}
});

it's work for me..without any issue
