SMTP

Nodemailer (SMTP)

Send your first email from Node.js with Nodemailer over the MailBlastr SMTP relay.

If you already use Nodemailer in your Node.js app, you can send through MailBlastr without touching the HTTP API. Point the transport at the MailBlastr SMTP relay and authenticate with your API key. Emails sent over SMTP show up in your dashboard and event log just like API sends.

Prerequisites

1. Install

Add the nodemailer package to your project.

npm install nodemailer

2. SMTP credentials

Configure the transport with the following credentials:

Hoststringoptional

smtp.mailblastr.com

Portnumberoptional

465 (implicit TLS) or 587 (STARTTLS).

Usernamestringoptional

mailblastr

Passwordstringoptional

Your API key, e.g. mb_xxxxxxxxx.

3. Send email using SMTP

Create a transport with these credentials, then send. The from address must be on a verified domain.

index.ts
import nodemailer from 'nodemailer';

async function main() {
  const transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
    host: 'smtp.mailblastr.com',
    secure: true,
    port: 465,
    auth: {
      user: 'mailblastr',
      pass: 'mb_xxxxxxxxx',
    },
  });

  const info = await transporter.sendMail({
    from: 'Acme <onboarding@yourdomain.com>',
    to: 'delivered@example.com',
    subject: 'Hello World',
    html: '<strong>It works!</strong>',
  });

  console.log('Message sent: %s', info.messageId);
}

main().catch(console.error);
Prefer the HTTP API for richer control (idempotency replay, scheduling, attachments by URL). SMTP is best when you already have a Nodemailer setup. See Send an email for the full HTTP body.
