UnKnown unable to find smtp.gmail.com: No response from server

I tried setting up nodemailer

Initially I set it up with my gmail account. I have disabled two-factor authentication on it, and enabled IMAP. Here is the function that is supposed to send emails:

import { sendMailType } from '../../types/sendMail.d';
import nodemailer from 'nodemailer';

export const sendMail: sendMailType = async (to, link) => {

  const transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
    host: 'smtp.gmail.email',
    port: 587,
    secure: false,
    auth: {
      user: process.env.USER, // exampleFrom@gmail.com
      pass: process.env.PASS, // password
    },
  });

  let info = await transporter.sendMail({
    from: `Mikita <${process.env.SMTP_USER}>`,
    to,
    subject: 'Follow the link to confirm your email address',
    text: '',
    html: `
            <div>
                <h1>Follow the link to confirm your email address</h1>
                <a href="${link}" target="_blank">${link}</a>
            </div>
    `,
  });

  return { msg: info.messageId };
};

I was getting the following error:

Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND smtp.gmail.email

I tried to run nslookup smtp.gmail.com and got the error: *** UnKnown unable to find smtp.gmail.com: No response from server

After that I tried setting up a test email so I converted the function to:

import { sendMailType } from '../../types/sendMail.d';
import nodemailer from 'nodemailer';

export const sendMail: sendMailType = async (to, link) => {
  let testAccount = await nodemailer.createTestAccount();

  const transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
    host: 'smtp.ethereal.email',
    port: 587,
    secure: false,
    auth: {
      user: testAccount.user,
      pass: testAccount.pass,
    },
  });

  let info = await transporter.sendMail({
    from: `Mikita <${process.env.SMTP_USER}>`,
    to,
    subject: 'Follow the link to confirm your email address',
    text: '',
    html: `
            <div>
                <h1>Follow the link to confirm your email address</h1>
                <a href="${link}" target="_blank">${link}</a>
            </div>
    `,
  });

  return { msg: info.messageId };
};

I am assuming I have some kind of a DNS problem. How could I fix it?
