email error in tutorial setup *RESOLVED*

[eluser]NielsG[/eluser]
Hello,

I followed the userguide form creation (http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-gui...ation.html) and in the success page I would like the information to be emailed to me. somehow, when I use a simple script with mail($to, $subject, $message) in a file on its own (mail.php), it works fine, but when I paste the mail function into the formsuccess page, it gives me an error. As though CI does something to the email settings?
The error I get is:

Code:

A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Warning

Message: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set()

Filename: views/formsuccess.php

Line Number: 25

Any insight into what CI might be doing ?
