Sending email from local host with Nodemailer

Question

I'd like to send mails on my local server but it seems not working with Nodemailer and NodeJS.

Is there any solutions to send mails from local?

    var contact = {subject: 'test', message: "test message", email: '[email protected]'};
    var to = "[email protected]";
    var transporter = nodemailer.createTransport();
    transporter.sendMail({
      from: contact.email,
      to: to,
      subject: contact.subject,
      text: contact.message
    });

Answer 1

  const transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
    port: 25,
    host: 'localhost',
    tls: {
      rejectUnauthorized: false
    },
  });

  var message = {
    from: '[email protected]',
    to: '[email protected]',
    subject: 'Confirm Email',
    text: 'Please confirm your email',
    html: '<p>Please confirm your email</p>'
  };

  transporter.sendMail(message, (error, info) => {
    if (error) {
        return console.log(error);
    }
    console.log('Message sent: %s', info.messageId);
  });

I'm current triggering this through an restful api on express.js

this should work, i used this to set up my postfix on digitalocean: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-configure-postfix-as-a-send-only-smtp-server-on-ubuntu-16-04
