Error in sending confrimation mail.


Can Any One Help Me With this error ?

The mail server doesn't accept the way you send mail. CI has default 3 ways of sending mail mail, sendmail, or smtp. Is it possible to switch? Are you using smtp? change the login settings.

$this->email->print_debugger() will give you the information you need.

There's a nice example in the page I linked to where its used. Let me know if that's not enough.

[eluser]n0ty[/eluser]
sOrry bro i didnt understand that ...
should i modify "codeIgniterCore/libraries/email.php"

OR is there anyother way to send mails ?

[eluser]Derek Allard[/eluser]
The very first example on the page I linked to entitled "Sending Email" has an example of sending email, and then subsequently running the debugger. This is the example you want to use.
