SSL/TLS Transporter Configuration

Transporter Configuration

1. secure: false

secure: false

• Purpose: This option specifies whether the connection should use SSL/TLS.
• Values:
• true: The connection will use SSL/TLS directly. This is typically used for port 465.
• false: The connection will not use SSL/TLS directly but can upgrade to a secure connection using STARTTLS. This is typically used for ports 587 and 25.
• Explanation: For port 587, STARTTLS is used, which means the connection starts as plaintext and then upgrades to a secure connection. Hence, secure should be set to false.

2. auth Object

auth: {

    user: "noreplay@jobinandjismi.in",
    pass: "123",
}

• Purpose: This object contains the authentication details required to log in to the SMTP server.
• Fields:
• user: The username or email address to log in to the SMTP server.
• pass: The password for the specified user.
• Explanation: These credentials are necessary for the SMTP server to authenticate and allow the email to be sent.

3. tls Object

tls: {

    rejectUnauthorized: false
}

• Purpose: This object contains settings related to the TLS (Transport Layer Security) protocol.
• Fields:
• rejectUnauthorized: This specifies whether the server’s SSL/TLS certificate should be validated against known CAs (Certificate Authorities).
• Values:
• true: Reject any connection which is not authorized with a valid certificate (default behavior).
• false: Allows connections with self-signed or invalid certificates.
• Explanation: By setting rejectUnauthorized to false, you are telling Nodemailer to accept any certificate provided by the server, even if it is self-signed. This can be useful in development environments or with servers using self-signed certificates.
