That error message is coming from your email settings. To address it you will need confirm, change your email settings. My recommendation is to fix the email account and the SMTP (Send Mail Transfer Protocol) settings. At this time, this error states that your emails are NOT being sent out. You may still be able to receive emails. I do not know which email account or an email app that you are using so it is hard to troubleshoot without more information.
