Error to send email to hotmail address

Hi !

I’m currently using node-sendmail to send emails which don’t need any answer. I have tried with my personal address but I have some troubles. So, I hope you can help me 😃 (it’s not necessarily a bug, maybe I’m doing something wrong)

Expected Behavior

Normally, the email should be sent and receive in my personnal mailbox.

Current Behavior

Actually, I have the following error:

mx resolved:  [ { exchange: 'mx1.hotmail.com', priority: 5 },
  { exchange: 'mx4.hotmail.com', priority: 5 },
  { exchange: 'mx2.hotmail.com', priority: 5 },

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. I use this piece of code

const sendmail = require("sendmail")();

exports.sendEmail = function(destinataire){
    return new Promise(function(resolve, reject){
        sendmail({
            from: '[e-mail]',
            to: destinataire,
            subject: 'validation de votre inscription',
            html: 'Mail of test sendmail ',
        }, function(err, reply) {
            if(err){
                console.log(err);
                reject(err);
            }
            resolve(reply);
        })
    })
};

1. destinataire is an email address. In my case, this is my personal address with the following form [e-mail]

Context

I’m trying to send an email to check the validity of an inscription on my website. Now, I’m just trying to send email and receive it. Later, I will provide a special link in the email to validate the inscription.

I think I have found the problem (thanks to @Geex-Renzo ). I don’t use sendmail (I was thinking it was no needed because node-sendmail don’t use smtp server).

Before closing this ticket, can you explain why Sendmail (or postix) is needed ? Thank you very for your help 😃

I am too facing this issue. It sends mail to corporate address but not to personal Gmail account. Any quick resolution would be highly appreciated.
