[Plugin: Fast and Secure Contact Form] mail not sending — bool(false)

I’m fairly new to wordpress, and I’ve never used this plugin before. But, I did look at every relevant thread that I could find relating to this problem.

I saw a few possible fixes, but they didn’t work. I did not try the gmail trick to set up a middle-man forwarder, however, because I don’t really want to do that.

I did try changing the sender from wordpress to php though, I know I did that one. I also tried changing the E-mail From and To to both be from something@MYDOMAIN.com

Test Message Sent

The result was:

bool(false)

The full debugging output is shown below:
