conker87 Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 It means you've got some sort of problem, says my nosy friend. But seriously, looks like your SMTP configuration isn't configured correctly.

ober Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 If you're using a mail server in a local environment (non-hosted solution), you need to modify the php.ini file to point to a mail server that would be running on the local environment. Did you install LAMP/XAMP/etc? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/109920-what-does-this-error-mean/#findComment-564053 Share on other sites More sharing options...
