Meteor email ETIMEOUT error

I am trying to use the email package but I keep getting the error:

Exception while invoking method 'sendEmail' Error: connect ETIMEDOUT

Here is my click event that calls the email method:

click .saveUserDetails': function(e, tmpl) {
    e.preventDefault();


    'click .saveUserDetails': function(e, tmpl) {
    e.preventDefault();
    Meteor.call('sendEmail',
               '[email protected]',
               '[email protected]',
               'Hello from Meteor!',
               'user confirmed!');
}

Here is my email environment setup:

Meteor.startup(function() {
process.env.MAIL_URL = 'smtp://[email protected]:[email protected]:25/';
});

And here is my email method:

Meteor.methods({
 sendEmail: function (to, from, subject, text) {
 check([to, from, subject, text], [String]);

this.unblock();

Email.send({
  to: to,
  from: from,
  subject: subject,
  text: text
});

} });

Anyone have any idea what might be going on? Thank you in advance!

Your hosting provider/ISP may be blocking SMTP/Port 25.

This is quite common as a method to prevent servers/users being used for sending spam. Try using an alternative port or get in touch with your hosting provider/ISP to remove the restriction.
