for the first time ever i'm using a VPS for my hosting i have Apache2, LAMP on Ubuntu 12.04 i have installed a website and it's not sending mail via my contacts page or the registration verification emails etc...? Do i need to set up some kind of outgoing mail server ? like this tutorial https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-the-send-only-mail-server-exim-on-ubuntu-12-04 and if so will it work automaticly or will the sending script need to be reconfigured ?
Any help, links or info would be great.. i feel like this could be in the linux section on stackoverflow but i don't think ill get a answer there and it may require editing PHP so I've stuck it here. thanks for your time!
