Sending email verification

I have a simple form that i am using to register users. This is the code

'submit #frmSignUp'(event,template) {
    event.preventDefault();
    const email = event.target.email.value;
	const password = event.target.pass_confirmation.value;
    const confirm = event.target.pass.value;
	const telephone = event.target.tel.value;
	const names = event.target.names.value;
   
   let user = {
      email: email,
      password: confirm
    };
    console.log(email);
    console.log(confirm);
    
    Accounts.createUser( user, ( error ) => {
      if ( error ) {
        Bert.alert( error.reason, 'danger' );
      } else {
        Meteor.call( 'verify', ( error, response ) => {
          if ( error ) {
            Bert.alert( error.reason, 'danger' );
          } else {
            Bert.alert( 'Welcome!', 'success' );
          }
        });
      }
    });
    
  }

This is the method i am calling

'verify': function () {
    let userId = Meteor.userId();
    
    if ( userId ) {
      return Accounts.sendVerificationEmail(userId);
    }
    console.log(userId);
  }

When i create a user,an activation email is not sent. I have this in my startup code

smtp = {
    username:'Wikileaks',   
    password:'657',   
    server: 'smtp.mandrillapp.com',  
    port:587
  }

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

This snippet sends email but i do not know why the system does not send verification email

'notify': function () {
	var digital = Math.random();
Email.send({
from: "info@cia.gov",
to: "info@cia.gov",
subject: "testing Mandrill App",
text: ""+digital+""
});

var result = Meteor.http.call("POST",  "http://000.000.05.000/meteor_hook/meteor.php",{data:{"phone":"000000000","msg":digital,"time":""},headers:{"content-type":"application/json"}}, function(error,result) {
              console.log(result);
            });
  },

How can i fix my code or use the working Email.send to send verification email?.
