JimBastard s accepted answer appears to be dated  I had a look and that mailer lib hasn t been touched in over 7 months  has several bugs listed  and is no longer registered in npm   nodemailer certainly looks like the best option  however the url provided in other answers on this thread are all 404 ing   nodemailer claims to support easy plugins into gmail  hotmail  etc  and also has really beautiful documentation

Check out emailjs  After wasting lots of time on trying to make nodemailer work with large attachments  found emailjs and happy ever since   It supports sending files by using normal File objects  and not huge Buffers as nodemailer requires  Means that you can link it to  f e   formidable to pass the attachments from an html form to the mailer  It also supports queueing    All in all  no idea why nodejitsu ppl chose nodemailer to base their version on  emailjs is just much more advanced
