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 ✔ <

Looks like the the current nodemailer does not have the option of sending mail without smtp any more. I would recommend take a look at the sendmail library which does NOT need any smtp/auth to send email. It gives you similar experience to using sendmail in linux.

const sendmail = require('sendmail')();

sendmail({
  from: 'test@finra.org',
  to: 'YourName@gmail.com',
  subject: 'Hello World',
  html: 'Hooray NodeJS!!!'
}, function (err, reply) {
  console.log(err && err.stack)
  console.dir(reply)
})

You can also turn on the silent to make it less verbose: const sendmail = require('sendmail')({silent: true});. One thing to notice is the sender cannot be those domains that has DMARC policy like xxx@capitalone.com.
