First I would like to state I'm running Drupal 7.14. on a LAMP set up. I'm fairly new to development. But things have been going pretty smoothly- until now. I have searched high and low for a solution before coming here and directly asking for help but I'm in a time crunch and could really use some assistance. I'm having some issues, on a local host, mind you, with this error message: "Unable to send e-mail. Contact the site administrator if the problem persists.", I get this message when a user tries to contact me, when they try to register on the forums and request to reset their password. I don't have a domain for the site set up, again its strictly local because I'm still working on it, but I tried to test with a gmail account and my hello@domain.com type email from my other site (which is, go figure a godaddy domain that probably doesn't support smtp). ANY IDEAS? To first get it going smooth on my local host... and then maybe a recommendation for when it comes time to actually deploy this bad-boy and avoid having to call godaddy support?
thanks in advance!

first question would be "do you have a mail server installed on the localhost"?
^.^
No, I didn't a friend of mine is suggesting sudo apt-get install sendmail, also mentioned something about php.ini and settinig the path. I'm trying to figure it out now...
ok after trying to install sendmail everything went well with the install except when it came down to the last part i got this error "ldconfig deferred processing now taking place
Errors were encountered while processing:

"when it came down to the last part" ? What does that mean?
errors beyond the scope of Drupal should likley be asked in the community of the OS in question or the program being installed.
