Installation

# using yarn
yarn add @strapi/provider-email-nodemailer

# using npm
npm install @strapi/provider-email-nodemailer --save

Example

Path - config/plugins.js

module.exports = ({ env }) => ({
  // ...
  email: {
    config: {
      provider: 'nodemailer',
      providerOptions: {
        host: env('SMTP_HOST', 'smtp.example.com'),
        port: env('SMTP_PORT', 587),
        auth: {
          user: env('SMTP_USERNAME'),
          pass: env('SMTP_PASSWORD'),
        },
        // ... any custom nodemailer options
      },
      settings: {
        defaultFrom: 'hello@example.com',
        defaultReplyTo: 'hello@example.com',
      },
    },
  },
  // ...
});

Development mode

You can override the default configurations for specific environments. E.g. for NODE_ENV=development in config/env/development/plugins.js:

module.exports = ({ env }) => ({
  email: {
    config: {
      provider: 'nodemailer',
      providerOptions: {
        host: 'localhost',
        port: 1025,
        ignoreTLS: true,
      },
    },
  },
});

The above setting is useful for local development with maildev.

Custom authentication mechanisms

It is also possible to use custom authentication methods. Here is an example for a NTLM authentication:

const nodemailerNTLMAuth = require('nodemailer-ntlm-auth');

module.exports = ({ env }) => ({
  email: {
    config: {
      provider: 'nodemailer',
      providerOptions: {
        host: env('SMTP_HOST', 'smtp.example.com'),
        port: env('SMTP_PORT', 587),
        auth: {
          type: 'custom',
          method: 'NTLM',
          user: env('SMTP_USERNAME'),
          pass: env('SMTP_PASSWORD'),
        },
        customAuth: {
          NTLM: nodemailerNTLMAuth,
        },
      },
      settings: {
        defaultFrom: 'hello@example.com',
        defaultReplyTo: 'hello@example.com',
      },
    },
  },
});

Usage

⚠️ The Shipper Email (or defaultfrom) may also need to be changed in the Email Templates tab on the admin panel for emails to send properly

To send an email from anywhere inside Strapi:

await strapi.plugin('email').service('email').send({
  to: 'someone@example.com',
  from: 'someone2@example.com',
  subject: 'Hello world',
  text: 'Hello world',
  html: `<h4>Hello world</h4>`,
});

The following fields are supported:

Field Description
from Email address of the sender
to Comma separated list or an array of recipients
replyTo Email address to which replies are sent
cc Comma separated list or an array of recipients
bcc Comma separated list or an array of recipients
subject Subject of the email
text Plaintext version of the message
html HTML version of the message
attachments Array of objects See: https://nodemailer.com/message/attachments/

Troubleshooting

Check your firewall to ensure that requests are allowed. If it doesn't work with

port: 465,
secure: true

try using

port: 587,
secure: false

to test if it works correctly.
