Ok, 2 questions one already asked.. But Ill ask again, Are you attempting to work with this on your own private enviroment locally through the use of a home brew server like lets say "WAMP", or "XAMP" or anything like that. Cause if you are, chances are unless you have a mail server on that same system of some sort your not going to be able to get mail out. Otherwise you would be testing this on a hosting service, hostgator, enom, godaddy, other, something your paying for that your uploading to then testing.. If its godaddy, that could be one of your issues right there, as godaddy requires you to go through a special means of sending mail through there system through your site..

If its not godaddy, and its not your own local enviroment. Then the second question would be.. is what is the specific error message your seeing?
