Here is my config/default.yaml file conf below:

plugins:

• ./plugins/console
• ./plugins/patternMatcher
• ./plugins/httpOptions
• ./plugins/email

- ./plugins/basicAuth

email:
method: SMTP # possible methods are SMTP, SES, or Sendmail
transport: # see https://github.com/andris9/nodemailer for transport options
service: Gmail # see https://github.com/andris9/Nodemailer/blob/master/lib/wellknown.js for well-known services
auth:
user: [email protected] # The email account username, e.g. '[email protected]'
pass: '*******' # The email account password, e.G. 'password'
event:
up: true
down: true
paused: false
restarted: false
message:
from: [email protected] # The message sender, e.g. 'Fred Foo [email protected]'
to: [email protected] # The message recipient, e.g. '[email protected], [email protected]'

The email plugin also uses the main url param for hyperlinks in the sent email.

=================================================================================
I have configured postfix mail server which is working properly.

Kindly help to resolve this issue.

I got that error fixed by upgrading nodemailer to version 3.1.5 and changing a line in the plugin
nano ./uptime/plugins/email/index.js

var mailer = nodemailer.createTransport(config.transport);
//var mailer = nodemailer.createTransport(config.method, config.transport);
