I was having the same issue with WordPress 3.5.1 and plugin version 1.5.8. I was able to solve the issue by setting up custom pages for access denied on Authenticated and Anonymous users.

This is accessible from Settings -> Page Security. On the page that is loaded click the top check-box to the right of the label Use Custom Pages. The description of the check-box (to the right) is “Use pages for default access denied screens”. Protection Type radio button left at the default value of Redirect.

Colton,

I had the same issue you had. To fix I did the following

1) Log into my wp-admin page for the site
2) Go to plugins and search for
Configure SMTP
3) Install the plugin by Scott Reilly
4) Run the plugin. It will provide a form to fill in the mail server.
NOTE: I’m on GoDaddy and through another post I found the mail server needed to be relay-hosting.secureserver.net.
