Unable to send email through nodemailer - node.js

Question

I'm developing node.js application in localhost. In this I'm trying to send mail using nodemailer.
Here is the code to used to send mail:
const nodemailer = require('nodemailer');
module.exports = {
sendMail : function( message, htmlMessage, subject, email ) {
const transporter = nodemailer.createTransport( {
service : 'gmail',
host : 'smtp.gmail.com',
auth : {
user : 'username',
pass : 'password'
},
tls: {
rejectUnauthorized: false
}
});
// setup email data with unicode symbols
let mailOptions = {
from : 'sender mail id', // sender address
to : email, // list of receivers
subject : subject, // Subject line
text : message, // plain text body
html : htmlMessage // html body
};
// send mail with defined transport object
transporter.sendMail( mailOptions, (error, info) => {
if (error) {
return console.log(error);
}
console.log('Message sent: %s', info.messageId);
console.log('Preview URL: %s', nodemailer.getTestMessageUrl(info));
});
}
};
I'm getting the below error:
Error: connect ETIMEDOUT 74.125.130.108:587
at TCPConnectWrap.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (net.js:1146:16) {
errno: -4039,
code: 'ESOCKET',
syscall: 'connect',
address: '74.125.130.108',
port: 587,
command: 'CONN'
}
Kindly someone help me to resolve this issue.

If your firewall is already turned off, you should make these changes.
const nodemailer = require('nodemailer');
module.exports = {
sendMail : function( message, htmlMessage, subject, email ) {
const transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
service : 'gmail',
auth : {
user : 'username',
pass : 'password'
}
});
// setup email data with unicode symbols
let mailOptions = {
from : 'xyz#gmail.com', // sender address
to : email, // list of receivers
subject : subject, // Subject line
text : message, // plain text body
};
// send mail with defined transport object
transporter.sendMail( mailOptions, (error, info) => {
if (error) {
return console.log(error);
}
console.log('Message sent: %s', info.messageId);
console.log('Preview URL: %s', nodemailer.getTestMessageUrl(info));
});
}
};
Once you setup, open the link https://myaccount.google.com/lesssecureapps and turn 'ON' Allow less secure apps: ON. And then check by running your node server.
