node js SMTP error

Question

I am sending e mail through my godaddy email account. For that i am using node js for sending emails but it is giving following error :

{ [Error: getaddrinfo         


        

Answer 1

The error is being shown because the host cannot be resolved i.e. because you are appending ssl:// to the host

As per the readme on the github link for nodemailer-smtp-transport your createTransport should be something like this for a secure connection

var transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({ 
    host: 'smtpout.secureserver.net', 
    port: 465, 
    auth: { user: 'Email address', pass: 'password' },
    secure: true
});

Give the above a shot, I think it should work just fine, if it is not working check your firewall/proxy setting.

Answer 2

Please don't use ssl or secure socket layer in your host.Please remove the host and try.simply like

host: 'smtpout.secureserver.net'
