ECONNREFUSED, errno: -111: Firewall issues?

Hello team! Maybe this is expected, im trying to use nodemailer locally but running into the error above. When i swap out nodemailer transport for Resend client, my functionality works. after doing some quick search, i see someone running into the same issue for gitpod: https://github.com/gitpod-io/gitpod/issues/8976. so this may be intentional. pls lemme know!

error
'error -> ' [Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:1025] {
  errno: -111,
  code: 'ESOCKET',
  syscall: 'connect',
  address: '127.0.0.1',
  port: 1025,
  command: 'CONN'
}

$ netstat -vanp tcp | grep 1025

thanks, once again!

@winsoroaks Convex code runs ona server, either on the Convex deployment or for Node.js modules, in AWS Lambda. It looks like you're trying to connect to something on your local machine?

yes. this is for nodemailer. does it mean i cannot use nodemailer locally?

Waht is it that's running at 127.0.0.1:1025? You could expose this to the internet with ngrok or similar if this were secured somehow, but if it's something that can't safely be exposed to the internet then no, you cannot access this resource from the Convex cloud.

its the SMTP server 😅 yeah seems too much hassle to get it run locally. hmm i guess i'll just do Resend for dev too. maybe i should do some flag toggles to prevent blowing the limit would this be feasible if i were to do ngrok?

yes, if your SMTP server uses authentication an alternative would be logging "this would send an email" in dev, or just sending the emails (this is what I usually do) since they're pretty cheap, and in dev I'm not sending thousands of them

yea makes sense. thanks again tom! i appreciate your patience. im still trying to learn my way thru convex 😅
