Hi @Olatisunkanmi!

AltCamp-v1-backend/src/mailer/mailerService.js:8
host: smtpConfig.host,
^

The error log indicates that the configuration for the smtp is missing. Please refer to the example.env for the variables needed to run the local development server.

These are required for the mail service to function: variables for smtp configuration

Gmail provides smtp credentials that you can use in your local environment. You can also checkout services like Zohomail!

Perhaps we can extend the readmes with this information?
