email: {
config: {
provider: 'nodemailer',
providerOptions: {
host: env('SMTP_HOST', 'smtp.example.com'),

});
Check out the available options for nodemailer: https://nodemailer.com/about/
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.
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',
},
},
},
});
