[nycphp-talk] Emails not being received when using mail()

Hello,

Out the box, PHPMailer works pretty good. I know there is a bug in the 
install I used where you have to explicitly
set the language variable or else it doesn't work.

I'd suggest further debugging your current situation before switching to 
PHPMailer.
