Using Nodemailer without a Well-Known email service

[ssmall]

If you would like to use your ISP's email server instead of Gmail or the like here is how to set up Nodemailer to do that.

In settings.js modify the exports.credentials:

exports.credentials = {
  emailservice : 'gmail',                              // Default is gmail, see nodemailer reference for other clients - https://github.com/andris9/Nodemailer
  emailhost : 'ISP_Email_Server_Address',   // Your ISP's email server address
  port : 'ISP_Email_Server_Port_Numer',     // Your ISP's email server port
  email : 'ISP_Email_Address',                    // Put your ISP email address here
  emailpass : 'ISP_Email_Password',           // Put your ISP email password or app access code here
  emailAlertsTo : 'ISP_Email_Address',        // Put your alert/notification email here (can be the same as above)
  smsAlertsTo : 'SMS',                               // if you want SMS notifications, fill this in with your phone number (it's your cell#, domain differs for each carrier, ex: 5551234567@vtext.com for verizon)
};

In gateway.js modify the following from:

var transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
    service: settings.credentials.emailservice, //"gmail" is preconfigured by nodemailer, but you can setup any other email client supported by nodemailer
    auth: {
        user: settings.credentials.email,
        pass: settings.credentials.emailpass,
    }
});


To the following:

var smtpTransport = require('nodemailer-smtp-transport');
var transporter = nodemailer.createTransport(smtpTransport({
    host: settings.credentials.emailhost,
    port: settings.credentials.port,
    auth: {
        user: settings.credentials.email,
        pass: settings.credentials.emailpass,
    }
}));
