Answer 1

In my experience sending emails can be made a lot easier by outsourcing the work to a provider like https://www.mailgun.com , the cost is $0.0008 per email. The reason for this is not only simplicity but deliverability. So many people have sent so many fake and junk emails over the years, emails often end up in spam folders when the server is not set up correctly. Things like adding SPF records to domains can obviously help but in all honesty, I now just use a sending provider.

Try this. The port is important to be 465 .

var transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
  service: 'gmail',
  auth: {
    user: 'youremail@gmail.com',
    pass: 'yourpassword'
  },
  port: 465,
  secure: true,
  tls: {
    rejectUnauthorized: false
  }
});
