Nextjs build fails on Docker due to env amid SKIP_ENV_VALIDATION

Hey, I'm building an app with nodemailer inside the nextjs app and trying to build it with docker. The docker build is failing on build stage due to env parameters. I run with the SKIP_ENV_VALIDATION parameter. here is the log output

#16 46.35 TypeError: Cannot set properties of undefined (setting 'mailer')
#16 46.35     at new Mail (/app/node_modules/nodemailer/lib/mailer/index.js:45:33)
#16 46.35     at module.exports.createTransport (/app/node_modules/nodemailer/lib/nodemailer.js:53:14)
#16 46.35     at /app/.next/server/chunks/3367.js:5293:71

#16 46.35 TypeError: Cannot set properties of undefined (setting 'mailer')

#16 46.35     at /app/.next/server/chunks/3367.js:5293:71

here is the code I initialize nodemailer

import nodemailer from "nodemailer";
import { env } from "~/env.mjs";

export const transporter = nodemailer.createTransport(env.EMAIL_SERVER, {
  secure: true,
});

import nodemailer from "nodemailer";
import { env } from "~/env.mjs";

export const transporter = nodemailer.createTransport(env.EMAIL_SERVER, {
  secure: true,
});

Why and how does building stage of next app checks the issues with env? How to solve it?
