Error: " can not connect to any SMTP server"

Expected Behavior

Using your package to send mails, the server was unable to send anything. Here’s the server code I used:

var sendmail         = require('sendmail')({
  logger: {
    debug: console.log,
    info: console.info,
    warn: console.warn,
    error: console.error
  },
    silent: false
})

sendmail({
  from: '[e-mail]',
  to: '[e-mail]',
  subject: 'test sendmail',
  html: 'Mail of test sendmail ',
}, function(err, reply) {
  console.log(err && err.stack);
  console.dir(reply);
});

And here’s the console error I got:

Context

I’m trying to send a mail with informations received from a form

Your Environment

Windows 10 NodeJS v4.4.3

I’ve had the same sort of problem, but it was resolved the moment I send a mail from the domain the app was installed on. E.g. I have a Digital Ocean droplet with the domain geex.company on it and mails are sent without any problem, but the moment I try to send a mail from a domain that is not pointed by DNS to that VPS, like “outlook.com”, it gets blocked by gmail servers and other services list it as “spam”.

I am using node mailer with SendGrid

    "nodemailer": "^2.7.0",
    "nodemailer-smtp-transport": "^2.7.2",

I was stuck not being able to send out to port 25 locally. SendGrid allows port 2525 so I tried that and worked! Apparently, my ISP does not block port 2525 so I can do local development easily.
