I don't know what I'm missing, I use the Nodemailer example:
var nodemailer = require("nodemailer");
// create reusable transport method (opens pool of SMTP connections)
var smtpTransport = nodemailer.createTransport("SMTP",{
service: "Gmail",
auth: {
user: "[email protected]",
pass: "userpass"
}
});
// 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: "<b>Hello world ✔</b>" // html body
}
// send mail with defined transport object
smtpTransport.sendMail(mailOptions, function(error, response){
if(error){
console.log(error);
}else{
console.log("Message sent: " + response.message);
}
// if you don't want to use this transport object anymore, uncomment following line
//smtpTransport.close(); // shut down the connection pool, no more messages
});
I just changed the user and pass in auth to my gmail account info (also tried with their values), and I changed the "to" email address to my email address. I get:
{ [Error: connect ECONNREFUSED]
code: 'ECONNREFUSED',
errno: 'ECONNREFUSED',
syscall: 'connect' }
What am I missing? I don't see anything in the documentation that says I need to do anything more than this, so why won't it work? Thank you in advance.

It was a firewall issue. Turns out there was nothing wrong with the code, I just didn't understand what the error message implied.
