Configure SMTP with Meteor --> https://github.com/LeCoupa/awesome-cheatsheets

meteor.smtp.bash

# add the email package
meteor add email

meteor.smtp.js

// server/smtp.js
Meteor.startup(function () {
  smtp = {
    username: 'your_username',   // eg: [email protected]
    password: 'your_password',   // eg: 3eeP1gtizk5eziohfervU
    server:   'smtp.gmail.com',  // eg: mail.gandi.net
    port: 25
  }

  process.env.MAIL_URL = 'smtp://' + encodeURIComponent(smtp.username) + ':' + encodeURIComponent(smtp.password) + '@' + encodeURIComponent(smtp.server) + ':' + smtp.port;
});

Should the lines inside the smtp object not be terminated with a comma , instead of a semicolon ;?

Yes that was a typo. Thank you!

@LeCoupa, so with this I can send unlimited emails ? reliably ?

Is there a way to use my own server, rather than using google or sendgrid or anyother service ?

Thanks

@sahanDissanayake You can set up your own mail server, but it's quite hard (unless you use something like Mail-in-a-box) and it is generally discouraged, because your messages are much more likely to be marked as spam.

That said if you can rely on the SMTP server you can rely on this code to work too.
