  • SMTP Error: "could not instantiate mail function"

    Posted 12 years 8 months ago
    • Hi,

      There is a known bug under Joomla 2.5.6 : One cannot send any email du to a bug in phpmailer.php

      I have corrected the phpmailer file as suggested at http://code.google.com/a/apache-extras.org/p/phpmailer/issues/detail?id=68 , however i still have the same SMTP error.

      Line 769:
      //MoonDragon $rt = @mail($to, $this->EncodeHeader($this->SecureHeader($this->Subject)), $body, $header, $params);
$rt = @mail($to, $this->EncodeHeader($this->SecureHeader($this->Subject)), $body, $header);

      Also, is it most sage to go back to Joomla 1.5?

      Thanks and regards,

    • sage = safe?

      If so, then no. Joomla 1.5 is dead and not supported anymore.
    • Please reply with a direct link to the issue & create a new thread for each new issue.

    • If it is not supported anymore but why cannot we receive any support for Joomla 2.5 (for example I have sent this thread since 07 august 2012 and still not have received any answer).

      Fyi, i have made all the migration but : it was not possible to receive or sent any email under joomla 2.5....

    • I don't have issues with mails in Joomla 2.5.6
      Better ask your question in official Joomla forum on Joomla.org.
      Be sure to have the latest Joomla version installed.

    • Hi,

      It seems that have made an update just this week or two weeks ago. However, I have posted a thread which still unanswered for about three (certainly Joomla Team was overloaded with the release of Joomla 3.0).

      Hopefully, I will do my migration in the next 12 months (presently too much delay).
