CodeIgniter在发送电子邮件时会生成错误

Question

I amusing the code below to send an email using codeigniter but I keep getting the error

Unable to send email using PHP mail(). Your server might not be configured to send mail using this method.

        $this->email->from("[e-mail]", "Name");
        $this->email->to('[e-mail]');
        $this->email->cc('[e-mail]');
        $this->email->subject("New Email from on johnkariuki.co.ke");
        $this->email->message("abdfdfj
fdgdfgdf");

        if($this->email->send())
        {
            echo "works";

        } else {

            $this->email->print_debugger();  
        }

What could be the issue? I cannot find a working solution online. What could be the issue? I cannot find a working solution online. I have loaded the email library in the constructor

By default, your email protocol is set to 'mail', but you may need to switch it to 'sendmail' instead.

$config['protocol'] = 'sendmail';
$this->email->initialize($config);

This will require you to install sendmail on your server (sudo apt-get install sendmail if you're on Ubuntu).

$this->email->send() uses PHP's builtin mail() function, and according to this post it may already be trying to use sendmail even if your protocol isn't explicitly set to 'sendmail'.
