smtp Error in code igniter

Question

I am trying to send a password reset link to user using the smtp in codeigniter with following configurations

$config = Array('protocol' => 'smtp',
                'smtp_host' => 'my-host',
                'smtp_user' => 'user',
                'smtp_port' =>25,
                'smtp_pass' => '********',
                '_smtp_auth'=>TRUE,
                'mailtype'  => 'text', 
                'charset'=> 'iso-8859-1'
               );


            $this->load->library('email',$config);
            $this->email->to($address);
            $this->email->from($from);
            $this->email->subject($subject);
            $this->email->message($message);

            echo $this->email->print_debugger();

The clue is here:

to: 501 <>: missing or malformed local part
</pre>The following SMTP error was encountered: 501 <>: missing or malformed local part
<br /><pre>data: 503-All RCPT commands were rejected with this error:
503-501 <>: missing or malformed local part
503 Valid RCPT command must precede DATA
</pre>The following SMTP error was encountered: 503-All RCPT commands were rejected with this error:
503-501 <>: missing or malformed local part
503 Valid RCPT command must precede DATA

It looks like your "To" address isn't set to a valid email address. Check that the value of $address actually has an email address as used in this line:

$this->email->to($address);

I'd also check all your other variables ($from, $subject etc) have valid values.
