Which node are you reporting an issue on?

node-red-node-email

What are the steps to reproduce?

double nat your network
send an email using the node

What happens?

I get the following error:
Error: connect ENETUNREACH 2404:6800:4003:c11::6c:465 - Local (:::0)

What do you expect to happen?

I expect that the email will be sent to the addressee

It was working before I double nat'ed my network

Please tell us about your environment:

Node-RED version : 3.0.0
NodeJS version: 14.19.3
npm version: 6.14.17
node-red-node-email version 1.17.0
OS version: Raspbian 11 (bullseye)
Browser: Edge

Any help to understand the relation between the error and the network being double 'natted' will greatly help.

Regards,
Anand.

Please ask questions on the forum or Slack, issues are for defects in the nodes.

What I will say is that there shouldn't be any NAT in a IPv6 setup under normal circumstances, so you need to look at why your system thinks it can use IPv6 but can not route to publicly available addresses (gmail's IPv6 endpoints).

Iinks to both the forum and Slack were in the template you were shown when you opened the issue (along with the pointer to ask questions there.)

If your issue is:

  • a general 'how-to' type question,
  • a feature request or suggestion for a change,
  • or problems with 3rd party (node-red-contrib-) nodes

please use the Node-RED Forum or slack team, or ask a question on Stack Overflow and tag it node-red.
