Fix your mail settings in your code to point to a real mail server and you will be fine.

Look up what the IP Address 127.0.0.1 is and you will have your answer. :sigh:

you find out what happens when you copy code without understanding it, I guess. There's nothing wrong with googling for code, I spent the week doing that. But, once you find a snippet that says it will do what you want, you should read up and understand it so you can work on it if you need to.
