Question

I am using cakephp 2.1 and I wanna send an email to user.
So the code I used is below.

App::uses('CakeEmail', 'Network/Email');
public function sendMail($to, $subject, $data) {

    // Set the Params
    $email = new CakeEmail('default');
    $email->from(array('[e-mail]' => 'Admin'));
    $email->emailFormat('text');
    $email->to($to);
    $email->subject($subject);

    // Send Email
    if($email->send($data)) {
        return true;
    } else {
        return false;
    }
}

This function returns true but I am not getting an email.Please suggest me where i am going wrong. Advance Thanks for your help.

Could be a myriad of reasons. Check the configuration settings in app/Config/email.php. You’ll need an SMTP server to relay your email.
