Send Nodemailer e-mail with Namecheap email

I have been successful connecting a Gmail account with Xoauth, but I recently acquired a Namecheap privateemail account and can't for the life of me figure out how to set it up. This is the code that I have:

var smtp = nodemailer.createTransport({
    host: 'mail.privateemail.com',
    port: 25,
    auth: {
        user: '[email protected]',
        pass: 'mypassword'
    }
});

I saw this question and tried all the other port numbers.

Instructions for sending emails through Nodemailer with a Namecheap private email.

These instructions assume you have created your mailbox through Namecheap and have configured your DNS settings through your DNS provider.

  1. Create environment variables:
  • host ("mail.privateemail.com")
  • user ("your namecheap email address")
  • pass ("the associated password to this email address").
  • sender email ("The email address you would like to send the email from")

  1. Create your Nodemailer transporter:

     const transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
   host: host,
   port: 465,
   secure: true, // use false for STARTTLS; true for SSL on port 465
   auth: {
     user: user,
     pass: pass
   },
   logger: true, // Enable logging
   debug: true // Enable debug output
 });

  2. Sending an email from your email to your inbox:

     const mailOptions = {
   from: sender_email, // Sender's email address.
   to: sender_email, // Recipient's name and email address.
   subject: "New Email", // Subject line.
   text: message // Plaintext body.
 };

 // Send email and log the response.
 const response = await transporter.sendMail(mailOptions);

According to Namecheap support website as of Nov 7, 2017 - configuration to send messages through Namecheap Private Email server:

Outgoing server (SMTP): port 465 for SSL, port 587 for TLS/STARTTLS

Outgoing server authentication should be switched on,
SPA (secure password authentication) must be disabled.

It may be secured connection in that case the port should be 465

465 port for SSL, 25 or 26 for TLS/STARTTLS
