I am trying to send mail to user when form is submitted. I have the same code in my local host and my server which is aws both running on ubuntu. On my local host I get SMTP connect() failed while it is working fine in my server indicating that the php/smtp settings on my local computer are configured wrong but I can't figure what. Following is the dump of error I got on my local computer.
