Nodemailer send email without smtp transport

Question

I am trying to send emails via nodemailer without SMTP transport. So i\'ve done that:

var mail = require(\"nodemailer\").mail;

mail({
    from: \"Fred Foo ✔ <         


        

Answer 1

This appears to be possible in nodemailer. Not sure if this wasn't around when the other answers were provided. As documented here: https://nodemailer.com/transports/sendmail/ you can you use the built in sendmail if available to do your sending. I've tested this for my own use and works fine. There are obviously advantages of SMTP but to say it's not possible is not true.
