I’m on the point where I have to get the send email to work in my meteor app.

I use

accounts-base@1.4.2
accounts-password@1.5.1
accounts-ui@1.3.0
vuejs

Howto use “meteor email” from atmospherejs so people will get a mail when they push forgot password?

What do I minimum have to setup?

2

This is explained in the meteor documentation

3

Which smtp server do people use? sendgrid/mailgun e.g.

I will try this example: https://gist.github.com/LeCoupa/9879221

I20180927-10:49:10.505(2)?   command: 'CONN' }

Meteor.startup(function () {
  smtp = {
    username: 'postmaster@xxxxx.mailgun.org',   // eg: server@gentlenode.com
    password: 'xxxx',   // eg: 3eeP1gtizk5eziohfervU
    server:   'https://api.mailgun.net/v3/xxxxx.mailgun.org',  // eg: mail.gandi.net
    port: 587
  }

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

The server value should be smtp.mailgun.org only

You have to verify your domain.
