EHOSTUNREACH error with nodemailer

Question

I'm having an issue with nodemailer and would appreciate your help.

I am trying to send mail through nodemailer on node.js. EHOSTUNREACH error keeps popping up.I tried with two different services however, I keep getting the same error. My error log looks like

{ [Error: connect EHOSTUNREACH 65.55.163.152:587]
  code: 'EHOSTUNREACH',
  errno: 'EHOSTUNREACH',
  syscall: 'connect',
  address: '65.55.163.152',
  port: 587,
  stage: 'init' }

The code that I'm using in my application is:

var smtpTransport = nodemailer.createTransport("SMTP",{
service: "hotmail",
auth: {
user: "[email protected]",
pass: "password"
}
}); 




api.post('/send',function(req,res){
    var mailOptions={
        from:'[email protected]',
        to : req.body.to,
        subject : req.body.subject,
        text1 : req.body.text1
    }
    console.log(mailOptions);
    smtpTransport.sendMail(mailOptions, function(error, response){
        if(error){
            console.log(error);
            res.end("error");
        }
        else{
            console.log("Message sent: " + response.message);
            res.end("sent");
        }
    });
})  

I am fairly new to node and fail to understand the reason for this occurance. Any help on the matter is solicited.

EHOSTUNREACH means that no route to that particular host could be found. You may want to check your network setup (your OS's routing table in particular).
