A few adapter edge cases can still generate invalid payloads or throw unexpectedly (e.g., empty from.email passing validation and content: "" falling through to readFileSync).

Pull request overview
This PR updates the Nodemailer transport integration to support Nodemailer 10 (new bundled TypeScript type layout) while preserving compatibility with Nodemailer 9 + @types/nodemailer, and updates CI/tooling to meet Nodemailer 10’s Node.js 20+ requirement.
Changes:
- Bump dev dependency to
nodemailer@^10.0.0, widenpeerDependencies.nodemailerto^9.0.1 || ^10.0.0, and keep@types/nodemaileras an optional peer for Nodemailer 9 users. - Refactor adapter type imports and input-shape handling (recipients flattening/groups, header value normalization, attachment/content handling) to align with Nodemailer 10’s stricter/bundled types.
- Update CI and local tooling to Node.js
20.20.2, add/adjust tests, and update README guidance for Nodemailer 9/10 + TypeScript usage.

- Line 13: Update adaptContent to handle URL-backed content.path values
according to Nodemailer’s supported inputs, fetching supported URLs before
constructing the attachment, or explicitly rejecting non-local URL values with a
clear validation error; preserve existing local file-path and data-URI handling,
and keep the change scoped to the path-processing branch.
In `@src/adapters/headers.ts`:
- Line 31: Update adaptHeaderValue to reject array-valued header inputs instead
of returning only value[0], preserving scalar header handling and raising the
established validation error. Add a test covering rejection of repeated header
values such as ["one", "two"].
In `@src/adapters/recipients.ts`:
- Line 35: Update adaptFirstRecipient to validate that the normalized
NodemailerAddress has a non-empty address and return undefined when it is
missing, while keeping NodemailerAddress.address optional. Add coverage for a
from value containing only name, ensuring adaptation does not bypass
FROM_REQUIRED.
In `@src/types/transport.ts`:
- Around line 32-35: Update NodemailerContentObject and adaptContent to require
at least one usable source: supported content or a path typed as string | Url.
Validate the selected branch before calling readFileSync, preventing empty
objects or unsupported content values from reaching the path fallback.

Thanks for the input, looks good, suggesting one small improvement to src/adapters/attachement.ts
|
@VladimirTaytor also another thing to check: I can also upgrade the CI to 24 (I upgraded from 18 to 20 as it's the new requirement of nodemailer 10), or if you prefer, do it on another pr. and another one: CodeQL v3 will also be deprecated (https://github.blog/changelog/2025-10-28-upcoming-deprecation-of-codeql-action-v3/) You can see it on your github action log : Just reply to this comment if you want me to do it. |
@thoda-dev, any input is valuable and appreciated, especially to make CI use Node 24 😅 |
Ok, I'll work on another PR to update all the CI, when this one will be merge (can create a conflict to the update already done in that one). I prefer to not mix things. |

Thanks for putting this together! Supporting nodemailer 10 while keeping 9 working is fiddly!
I ran the cases in the comments below against the built package, on nodemailer 9 and 10, with current main for comparison. They're tagged by how much they matter:
- [should]: has to be fixed before merging. There are currently two of these: attachments can read local files even with
disableFileAccesson, and TypeScript projects still on nodemailer 9 stop compiling. - [could]: improvements, ok to leave for later.
- [nitpick]: minor, take them or leave them :)

Thanks for the thorough pass @oshchyhol, that was really useful. I went through every point — one commit each, with the reasoning in the replies inline. Both [should] ones are fixed, and the [could]/[nitpick] ones too. I resolved the threads that were settled, and left the three that may deserve a second look unresolved: the address objects in custom headers, A few extra cases turned up along the way and are handled as well: blank display names no longer go out as Everything was checked against both nodemailer 9 and 10. |

@oshchyhol I did a full review pass over the branch before calling it done, and a few things came up. Fixed in d4d576f. The That made the inline check in The last one is smaller: header names are trimmed when written, not only when checked, I also ran the adapters from |

Motivation
Nodemailer 10 was released in September 2026. Bumping the dependency is not enough this time:
nodemaileris now written in TypeScript and ships its own type definitions, which take precedence over@types/nodemailerand use a different layout than the DefinitelyTyped ones. The transport compiles against the bundled types only after a few adjustments, even though nothing changes at runtime (the whole test suite passes on 10.0.9 without touching the code).Nodemailer 10 also requires Node.js 20 or newer, which the CI currently does not meet.
Changes
.tool-versions(nodemailer 10 declaresengines.node >= 20, soyarn install --frozen-lockfilewould fail on Node 18).nodemailerdev dependency bumped to^10.0.0; peer range widened to^9.0.1 || ^10.0.0so users on 9 are not warned.@types/nodemaileris kept as an optional peer for nodemailer 9 users, it is not needed with 10.nodemailer/lib/mailerno longer exposes named exports (Address,Attachment,AttachmentLike,Headers) nor a CommonJSexport =. The code now uses a default import and theMail.*namespace, which is the layout nodemailer 10 explicitly preserved for@types/nodemailercompatibility. The sources type-check against both nodemailer 10 (bundled types) and nodemailer 9 +@types/nodemailer6.name/addressare optional on address objects, arrays can be nested and address groups ({ name, group: [...] }) are expanded;fromaccepts an array like the other address fields (first one is used, as forreply_to).{ key, value }object is accepted, and number/boolean/Date/address/{ prepared, value }values are converted to strings;null/undefinedvalues are skipped.adaptContent, which also accepts a content descriptor object.adaptReplyToRecipient→adaptFirstRecipient(shared byfromandreply_to; not part of the public API).NodemailerAddress,NodemailerRecipients,NodemailerContent) live insrc/types/transport.tsnext toMailtrapMailOptions.@types/nodemaileronly needed with 9.How to test
