Windows 7 is not supported by Node.js 16 as far as I know, at least not completely. This is not a Netlify issue, but it misses some features required by some Node libraries, for example:

I had this issue while trying to send a mail with a test account (not using a re…al one for now), I don't know why it occurs but seems (as error logs) `os.hostname()` is not defined and throws an error. ``` node:internal/errors:465 ErrorCaptureStackTrace(err); ^ SystemError [ERR_SYSTEM_ERROR]: A system error occurred: uv_os_gethostname returned ENOSYS (function not implemented) at SMTPConnection._getHostname (C:\Users\Giorgio\NodeDEV\mail-tracker\node_modules\nodemailer\lib\smtp-connection\index.js:1758:34) at new SMTPConnection (C:\Users\Giorgio\NodeDEV\mail-tracker\node_modules\nodemailer\lib\smtp-connection\index.js:64:47) at new SMTPTransport (C:\Users\Giorgio\NodeDEV\mail-tracker\node_modules\nodemailer\lib\smtp-transport\index.js:51:26) at Object.module.exports.createTransport (C:\Users\Giorgio\NodeDEV\mail-tracker\node_modules\nodemailer\lib\nodemailer.js:49:27) at newTestAccount (C:\Users\Giorgio\NodeDEV\mail-tracker\mail.js:83:34) at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:96:5) { code: 'ERR_SYSTEM_ERROR', info: { errno: -4054, code: 'ENOSYS', message: 'function not implemented', syscall: 'uv_os_gethostname' }, errno: [Getter/Setter], syscall: [Getter/Setter] } ``` To solve this issue, I just needed to add a try statement and replace [this line](https://github.com/nodemailer/nodemailer/blob/38e5773826ddc0ab2355557bcd2db38b9e8aac09/lib/smtp-connection/index.js#L1758) with my code: ```js var defaultHostname = ''; try { defaultHostname = os.hostname() || ''; } catch (e) { }; ```
