Hello,

I have upgraded from 0.19 to the latest version of node red v1.0.2.

Since then sending e-mails over gmail does not work anymore.

```auto
[
    {
        "id": "22a29086.083818",
        "type": "e-mail",
        "z": "91af24f6.c1567",
        "server": "smtp.gmail.com",
        "port": "465",
        "secure": true,
        "tls": false,
        "name": "martin@gmail.com",
        "dname": "",
        "x": 1000,
        "y": 220,
        "wires": []
    }

```

]

The error message is:

`Error: queryA EREFUSED smtp.gmail.com at QueryReqWrap.onresolve [as oncomplete] (dns.js:196:19)`

I tried different settings for TLS and "use secure connection". I uninstalled the package and installed it again. I created a new app password. The error always stays the same.

Any hint would be highly appreciated.

Thanks!

I figured out a workaround. When using the IP address instead of the dns name for [smtp.gmail.com](http://smtp.gmail.com) it is working fine.
