Environment Variables

Some environment variables can be used in place of CLI options. CLI options override these environment variables, if used, so these can be thought of as defaults.

• SMTP_SERVER The hostname of the SMTP server to be used.
• SMTP_PORT The port on the SMTP server that should be connected to.
• SMTP_USERNAME The username to use when authenticating.
• SMTP_PASSWORD The password to use when authenticating.
• SMTP_USE_SSL Set this to a truth-y value to use SSL.
• SMTP_USE_TLS Set this to a truth-y value to use TLS (STARTTLS)
• SMTP_SERVICE_NAME This is one of nodemailer's service identifiers, if you want it to configure itself automatically.
