Unable to send mail

Unable to send mail
My links system is unable to send mail. Can anyone please inform me if the following are correct/incorrect

Links.cfg
----------
# PATH of sendmail.
# $db_mail_path = '';

# SMTP Server
$db_smtp_server = 'nigeria-resources.com';

# Email address of the administrator. BE SURE TO SET!
$db_admin_email = 'admin@nigeria-resources.com';

The error I get after validating a link is:

Error Message : Unable to send addition message. Reason: SMTP: Unspecified communications error.

Any help would be most welcome.

The problem is with your $db_smtp_server configuration. Contact your hosting company and ask them what is the correct SMTP server configuration you should use in your scripts.

Thanks.

For those that are experiencing a similar problem try setting the $db_smtp_server to 'localhost'
