im not familiar with this source but that is a basic php error message. It means than the smtp host set in your php.ini configuration (most likely localhost) is not configured for relaying messages.

You have two options here.

1. configure the mercury smtp server of xampp correctly. If i remember correctly it is possible to configure mercury to use an email account such as gmail. however it should also be possible to configure it to your domain name (as long as you have purchased a proper domain name not one of them free subdomain ones). If you have your own domain name that routes to your IP then i will look into how to configure mercury for the domain name (if its possible)

2. If your simply testing the site locally and will purchase and upload the site to a production server later on then just ignore the error. most hosts will have smtp configured automatically for you and the emails will begin to work as soon as ur online on a production server. until then you can confirm accounts by using phpmyadmin if you need too
