PHP mail() works but $this->email->send() does not

What I mean is you may be unnecessarily changing defaults, if mail() works then so should CI without any server related config changes. A typical email of mine is simply this:-

Code:

$this->load->library('email');

$config['mailtype'] = 'html';

$this->email->initialize($config);
    
$this->email->from($from_email, $from_name);
$this->email->to($to);
$this->email->subject($subject);
$this->email->message($message_html);
$this->email->set_alt_message($message_plain);
$this->email->send();
