So many people have posted many different solution for the error sending mail out of Wordpress, when requesting lost password or new registration you get error.

” The e-mail could not be sent.
Possible reason: your host may have disabled the mail() function… ”

I found this mail send via SMTP, this worked for me in first time.

This WordPress plugin reconfigures the wp_mail() function so all mail from your blog can be sent by SMTP instead of using PHP’s mail() function. The plugin also adds an Options > Email page which allows you to configure the settings from the admin interface of your site.
