Unable to get mails running

Developer help Installation

Dear Ghost users,

I need your help to set-up mail configuration (version 2.2.2).
I’ve followed docs very carefully, but still, it is not working. (https://docs.ghost.org/docs/mail-config).

I decided to go for Mailgun. Mailgun itself is configured and verified.
Then I updated my prod config by creating config.production.json file in mail installation directory. I looks following (this is the entire file, nothing else is there):

{
    "mail": {
	    "transport": "SMTP",
         "options": {
              "service": "Mailgun",
               "auth": {
                    "user": "xxx",
                    "pass": "xxx"
                }
	     }
    }
}

I’m pretty sure, I’m editing the right file, because depending on it’s content I got the different error messages.

When I login to the ghost admin and I try to send e-mail I got following error:
Cannot create property 'mailer' on string 'SMTP'

Does anyone know what can be wrong?

Thank you so much in advance.

I think I found the cause. I don’t know how it happned, but I had installed wrong version of nodemailer. Once I’ve changed it to the once that is installed by default with ghost, this error disappeared.

Sorry for bothering you
