Error 535 while setting up nodemailer with GoDaddy - node.js

Question

I'm wondering if anyone has figured out how to use GoDaddy hosted email with nodemailer. I have an email submission box from my contact form, and it triggers the following script:
function sendEmail ( to, subject, body ) {
var transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
service: 'Godaddy',
host: "relay-hosting.secureserver.net",
port: 465,
secureConnection: true,
auth: {
user: 'email#godaddydomain.com',
pass: 'password'
}
});
var mailOptions = {
from: 'email#godaddydomain.com',
to: to,
subject: subject,
text: body
};
transporter.sendMail(mailOptions, function(error, info){
if (error) {
console.log(error);
} else {
console.log('Email sent: ' + info.response);
}
});
}
I've tried a few different options, and made sure my ports are all open, but I'm having a hard time with the authentication. I keep getting errors like this:
{ Error: Invalid login: 535 Authentication Failed for email#godaddydomain.com. User does not have any relays assigned.

response: '535 Authentication Failed for email#godaddydomain.com. User does not have any relays assigned.',
responseCode: 535,

Any thoughts or suggestions would be really appreciated.

Answer 1

It seems like this error is related to the hostname. Try this one:
var transporter2 = nodemailer.createTransport({
service: 'Godaddy',
host: "smtpout.secureserver.net",
secureConnection: true,
port: 465
})

Answer 2

I was facing the same error. I changed configuration to the following:
var transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
host: "smtpout.secureserver.net",
secure: true,
secureConnection: false, // TLS requires secureConnection to be false
tls: {
ciphers: "SSLv3",
},
requireTLS: true,
port: 465,
debug: true,
auth: {
user: "xxxx#yyyy.com",
pass: "pass",
},
});
It worked like a charm for me.

Answer 3

In case anyone's still looking for this (as I have been the last few days!), I found all the server information GoDaddy was suggesting was completely wrong. Found the answer in cPanel - if you go to the main bit, and click on 'Email Accounts', on your account it should have an option on the right saying 'Connect Devices'. Click on that and it'll give you the correct server and port information for what you need, which for me ended up being this:
var transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
host: "sxb1plzcpnl487525.prod.sxb1.secureserver.net",
secure: true,
secureConnection: true,
port: 465,
auth: {user: "yourcpanelusername#yourdomain.com", pass: "yourcpanelpassword"},
tls: {rejectUnauthorized: false}
});
Took me forever to find that specific weird server it needed. Hope this helps. Apologies for formatting, it's my first post here but I wanted to help as I've spent days on this now.
