Mailer error

Iwan · Post by **Iwan** » 21 Nov 2005, 17:58

After creating a new user I get following message in Mantis 0.19.2

"PROBLEMS SENDING MAIL TO:
Mailer Error: Could not instantiate mail function."

Can somebody help me?

Thanks

It may be 'cause you didn't select the PhpMailer method. Go to config_defaults_inc.php, search for $g_phpMailer_method and write the number that matches the method you want to use:
0 - mail()
1 - sendmail
2 - SMTP
If you want to use a SMTP server, after write the number, you must search for $g_smtp_host and write its address and, if necessary, inform the username and password that PhpMailer will use.

I think that's all...

This error also pops up from phpmailer when the address is corrupted.
