Strange issue - I have been working on trying to get my contact for to work for the last 2 hours. I have followed all the instructions and have all the setting I need. I have three email address and smtp servers to work with. None of them work. But strangely after 2 hours of pulling my hair out of my head and banging head against wall - I turned off the module in the control panel that says " check this box to Change this to true to enable smtp functionality - I un-checked it and now it works and emails are sending as it should. I wished the the saying was uncheck this to make the emails send. ERRRRRRR!!!!

Now as I go and calm down from this ordeal.

At least its working.

Peace!!

here is a picture.

The checkbox works as it should, when it's unchecked – mail is sent using mail() function in PHP and this is handled by your hosting server. This just means that you fall back from using smtp to your server's sendmail.

Actually if you don't have problems you don't have to use SMTP at all. This functionality was added for server that can't send mail properly. But even with SMTP support sometimes we still can't send email.
