Nodemailer - Works locally but not on production

Question

https://gist.github.com/anonymous/ba82f74071cc38a0700b

Before changing some settings, e.g. host and port, it was working fine locally, but just won't work on production.

Anyone know why?

Thanks

Disable Captcha temporarily so you can mail using new server,

How to disable with a different Google account? This automatically just leads to a page to disable for my main account – Atenean1 Nov 19 '20 at 19:00

i think this is happening because of port number and your firewall at this port is not allowing you to send mail over this port(80) . try with 587 or 465 which are actually the standard port number for SMTP.

changed your code a bit

/**
 * Created by atul on 29/3/16.
 */

var nodemailer = require('nodemailer');
transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
  service: 'Gmail',
  //host: 'myhost',
  port: 465,
  secure: true,
  auth: {
    user: 'mymail@gmail.com',
    pass: 'mypassword'
  }
});
  mailOptions = {
    from: 'mymail@gmail.com',
    to: 'mymail@gmail.com',
    subject: 'You received a new message at !',
    text: 'Hello Mailer',
html: ''
};
transporter.sendMail(mailOptions, function(error, info){
  if(error){
  console.log(error)
}else{
  console.log('Message sent: ' + info.response)
}
});

I use app.listen(80), that's not the one I use? – Mod Mark Mar 29 '16 at 09:28
can you write your code that you are trying because from the above code i am just getting that you want to create a transport over port 80 which is wrong – Atul Agrawal Mar 29 '16 at 09:31
just tried both 587 and 465, neither worked ._. the code is the same, just port: 587/465 rather than 80 – Mod Mark Mar 29 '16 at 09:37
have you checked that there is no firewall on these ports and also these ports are open? – Atul Agrawal Mar 29 '16 at 09:39
