Is sendmail (or a symlink to it) present in /usr/sbin? Is this on a shared hosting provider or a VPS/dedi? If VPS/Dedi is it running Linux or Windows?
Are you using SMTP or the built-in PHP mail functions?

1- no idea where to look for /usr/sbin
2- im on a VPS
3- running linux
4- build in function for mail i do believe

If you are on a VPS, then you need to access your VPS via SSH and check and see if sendmail (or a symlink) exists in the /usr/sbin directory.
It's a directory just like on a Windows system. You can get to it (after you are logged in via SSH) simply by typing in cd /usr/sbin and then do an ls sendmail. If the file is there it will show up in the directory listing. If it's not there, you can run updatedb (needs root priv's usually) and then do a locate sendmail and it should tell you where it is. If it is somewhere other than /usr/sbin then you need to create a symlink from it to /usr/sbin directory.

I have no idea how to do any of the above @Tracy Perry , ive never seen or used ssh before

Check to make sure you have this checked in your Admin Control Panel:

Admin CP -> Options -> Email Options -> Email Transport Method -> Default should be checked

Assuming this is how it is set, I suggest asking your web hosting provider to help with this. Provide the error as you post in post #1.

I would probably guess that no MTA is installed. I'm pretty sure all the major ones expose a sendmail-compatible binary (with a symlink).

You're going to have to get your host or a server admin to help then. (If you want a VPS and don't have server admin knowledge, you should definitely go for a managed server.)
