Laravel Error Message When Sending Email

I'm trying to send a basic verification email using Laravel and an account on mailgun.com. I've followed the instructions here and am getting errors. here's my code:

http://laravel.io/bin/GyqvB

public function postCreate(){
    $validator = Validator::make(Input::all(), 
        array(
            'email'             => 'required|max:50|email|unique:users',
            'username'          => 'required|alpha_dash|max:60|min:3|unique:users',
            'password'          => 'required|min:6',
            'password_again'    => 'required|same:password'
        )
    );


    if($validator->fails()){
        return Redirect::route('account-create')
                ->withErrors($validator)
                ->withInput();
    } else {

        // Create Account
        $email          = Input::get('email');
        $username       = Input::get('username');
        $password       = Input::get('password');

        // Activation Code
        $code           = str_random(60);

        $user           = User::create(array(
            'email'     => $email,
            'username'  => $username,
            'password'  => $password,
            'password'  => Hash::make($password),
            'code'      => $code,
            'active'    => 0
        ));

        if($user){
            // Send Email
            Mail::send('emails.auth.activate', array('link' => URL::route('account-activate', $code), 'username' => $username), function($message) use ($user) {
                $message->to($user->email, $user->username)->subject('Acivate Your Account');
            });

            return Redirect::route('home')
                ->with('global', 'Your account has been created. We have sent you an email to activate your account');
        }
    }

}

Can you show us your config/services.php and config/mail.php files?

config/services.php return array(

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Third Party Services
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| This file is for storing the credentials for third party services such
| as Stripe, Mailgun, Mandrill, and others. This file provides a sane
| default location for this type of information, allowing packages

*/

'mailgun' => array(
    'domain' => 'http://www.mydomainname.com',
    'secret' => 'key-mywebsitekey',
),

'mandrill' => array(
    'secret' => '',
),

'stripe' => array(
    'model'  => 'User',
    'secret' => '',
),

);

config/mail.php

return array(
'driver' => 'mailgun',

'host' => 'smtp.mailgun.org',

'port' => 587,

'from' => array('address' => 'postmaster@mg.mydomainname.com', 'name' => 'This is my website  message'),

'encryption' => 'tls',

'username' => 'postmaster@mg.mydomainname.com',

'password' => 'mypassword',

'sendmail' => '/usr/sbin/sendmail -bs',

'pretend' => false,
);

I imagine you already have done.. but just to make sure - this content here:

<?php

    'domain' => 'http://www.mydomainname.com',
    'secret' => 'key-mywebsitekey',

is replacing actual content?
