You don't have to do this server side necessarily, the simplest solution is a mailto link in html.

You can do this with a basic a tag:

<a href="mailto:someone@somewhere.com">Contact us!</a>

The advantages of this approach, is simplicity, and it opens the user's configured email client, which may be more comfortable for them to use, and they get a copy of the feedback they submit automatically in their sent mail box.

If you want your send to address to remain annonomous, then you will need to do this server side. There are a number of tools in node to do this, including https://nodemailer.com/.

That said, any library supporting the protocol of your mailserver can do this (i.e. pop, imap, exchange, etc). The main advantage of this approach is you protect your inbox from spam, and you can add additional verification on your site (like a captcha).

Hi, Thank you for the replay.It was very useful.I have little doubts.

1)mailto option doesn't take content (form fields) client has filled in the form and send it as e-mail to someone@somewhere.com

2)I am looking for noide.js function which is equivalent to mail() function in php

3)Nodemailer is used for sending multiple mails from our website(newsletters,email marketing etc)

4) I am looking for client who visit my webpage,if he like to contact me ,he should fill a form and click submit,which i will receive in mail.

kindly correct me,if i am wrong.

Hey,

I'm not aware of any mail function in vanilla node, you're likely going to need a package for that. Nodemailer can be used for mass email, but there's really not much difference between sending 1 or 100 emails, you just need a straight forward abstraction layer over the smtp server.

Here's a blog post that show's the basic essentials: http://javascript.tutorialhorizon.com/2015/07/02/send-email-node-js-express/

A quick google search aslo turns up node-sendmail: https://www.npmjs.com/package/sendmail

Give the example a try and see if it works for you.

Hi nodemailer package worked successfully for my contact form. I used both sender and receiver mail id as same. so when client fill his details in my contact form in contact page and click submit,mail containing details of the form filled by client is send from my mail id to same id.

Thus i got the details of the clients who fill my contact form. Your guidance was very useful,thank you very much.

Hi, I think this video would help for nodejs developers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nF9g1825mwk

Here is my simple implementation https://github.com/dark-dao/feedback-service. Run this service on your server. Then send a request from the web page. Then the data is sent by email using nodemailer. You can modify it to your needs))
