hi
i guess u hav to set the path to your mail server isn't functioning .
I had this same problem but after setting the path correctly it worked. Also make sure that some mail server's need authentication. then u have to authenticate by using valid user name and a password. to do that u can write a simple code like this.
Eg:-
$headers = array ('From' => $email,
'To' => $to,
'Subject' => $subject);
$smtp = Mail::factory('smtp',
array ('host' => $host,
'auth' => true,
'username' => $username,
'password' => $password));

$mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $message);

Try to change the value of your SMTP in your php.ini, put the domain name of your mail server, for example " mail.example.com "

Hi Madu,
You Have to Configure your php.ini File with a real SMTP server value.
