Mailer Error: Could not instantiate mail function

Huonker 09 Jun, 2016
Hello everybody
I saw, that this error was already discussed several times. I also went through them. My problem is, that I use V5 and it is not the first time I am building a form. I even copied (export/import) a form from another site with V5, where it works and still I got this error message and I also do not get any mails..., alsthough the display message at the end works.
After running the debug there are some array errors.

I am happy for any help
Thank you
Best regards

Hi Peter,

First, if the Errors array in the DEbugger output is empty then there are no errors to be reported.

The Instantiate message occurs because Joomla! does't recognise the email you are sending as valid. This can be for a number of reasons - the most common is that the To Email address doesn't match the address required by the mail service (usually the one shown on the site mailer settings).

There are also custom settings that you can use in the ChronoForms settings tab to connect to an different SMTP service if necessary.
