It worked thank you so much for your help! @macmanx
Yes I just realized there are different filters. Thank you for the plugin!
I used a plugin called WP Mail SMTP to solve my problem. The plugin needs to be logged into your email account in order to have mail sent out by SMTP. At least this was the case for me.
I was able to speak with my hosting provider with whom I am using for my emails and they walked me through the info I needed to set everything up using the plugin. Hope this helps!
