Could not instantiate mail function.

Hi, I have this problem also. I use the WordPress setting and it sends the message, I receive the message, but in the top left hand corner of the msg sent screen it says Could not instantiate mail function.

How do I fx?
Nice plugin. Thx.

I have a similar issue. All of my email settings seem to be correct.

I have updated WP-Mail-SMTP and Subscribe2 plugins to the most recent versions.
I have set and verified the SMTP settings in Settings > Email. Send test email works.
I have sent Send Email Preview in Subscribe2 and it works.

When I go to Posts > Email Subscribers and attempt to send a test message, this is what happens:
– Select Preview – message is sent and I receive it
– Select Send – get error message: Message failed! Check your settings and check with your hosting provider. Could not instantiate mail function.
– None of my new post email alerts go out

Has anyone seen this error on mailing subscribers when everything else seems to work?

Thanks

I am having same issue. Getting “Could not instantiate mail function” when using wordpress mailer… I tried using SMPT but would not authenticate. Help?

Seems like this plugin does not use the wp_mail() function or…?

Installed SMTP plugin

“I have a plugin that sends out emails but doesn’t use SMTP. Why?”
“Said plugin has to use the WordPress default wp_mail() function when sending emails in order for SMTP to work.”

So what does it use?

/Akerman

Found the SMTP settings in the plugin. Works as promised. Rated the plugin on WP Extensions.

Thanks!
