i'm trying to use the emailjs (https://github.com/eleith/emailjs) for send emails with nodejs, but, it gives me an error: { [Error: timedout while connecting to smtp server] code: 4, smtp: undefined }

I'm trying to use hotmail, but I can use other, I only want this working. Any idea please?

 var email   = require(emailjs);

    var server  = email.server.connect({

       user:    [email protected], 

       password:xxxyyyy, 

       host:    smtp-mail.live.com, 

       ssl:     true

    });



    // send the message and get a callback with an error or details of the message that was sent

    server.send({

       text:    i hope this works, 

       from:    you <[email protected]>, 

       to:      someone <[email protected]>,

       //cc:      else <[email protected]>,

       subject: testing emailjs

    }, function(err, message) { console.log(err || message); });

I tested with the code below (using gmail) and it is working:

var email = require('emailjs');



var server = email.server.connect({

  user: '[email protected]',

  password: 'stackoverflow',

  host: 'smtp.gmail.com',

  ssl: true

});



server.send({

  text: 'Hey howdy',

  from: 'NodeJS',

  to: 'Wilson <[email protected]>',

  cc: '',

  subject: 'Greetings'

}, function (err, message) {

  console.log(err || message);

});

In my console the output is:

{ 

  attachments: [],

  alternative: null,

  header: { 

    'message-id': '<[email protected]>',

    date: 'Tue, 02 Jun 2015 10:48:58 -0400',

    from: '=?UTF-8?Q?NodeJS?= <>',

    to: '=?UTF-8?Q?Wilson?= <[email protected]>',

    cc: '',

    subject: '=?UTF-8?Q?Greetings?=' 

 },

 content: 'text/plain; charset=utf-8',

 text: 'Hey howdy' 

}

Indeed I have received in my inbox the email message.

I suspect that you should use the host smtp.live.com instead of smtp-mail.live.com

Note: The account ([email protected]) used is a valid one I just created for testing purposes.
