you are trying to send via PHPs mail function ( default method in Email component ), but you can`t do it from localhost ;) better way - send via SMTP
1. you need to setup smtp delivery: $this->Email->delivery = 'smtp'; 2. setup SMTP params: $this->smtpOptions = array( 'port'=> 25, 'host' => 'yourSMTPServer', 'username'=>'yourUserName', 'password'=>'yourSMTPPassword', 'timeout' => 30 ); 3. Sending .... ;) To get SMTP settings you need to get email relay information from your hosting support (server, username and password) P.S. with standart component you can`t send your emails via relay servers that using TLS or SSL connections ( like gmail.com ), to do this you need using some like ShiftMailer On Jun 30, 11:14 pm, "Turnquist, Jonah" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Update: I figured out I can get it to work if I remove all < and > > > $this->Email->from = 'No Reply <noreply@'.env('HTTP_HOST').'>'; > $this->Email->replyTo = No Reply '<noreply@'.env('HTTP_HOST').'>'; > $this->Email->return = No Reply '<noreply@'.env('HTTP_HOST').'>'; > > changed to this: > > $this->Email->from = 'noreply@'.env('HTTP_HOST'); > $this->Email->replyTo = 'noreply@'.env('HTTP_HOST'); > $this->Email->return = 'noreply@'.env('HTTP_HOST'); > > Now it works, but of course now I can't supply a name.
