Could not instantiate mail function

http://www.test.birdwatchershouse.com/index.php?option=com_chronocontact&task=send&chronoformname=forma&Itemid=4

Hi,

I have two forms on this page... the white form on the left sends its mails like expected...
the black one on the right gives me the dreaded "Could not instantiate mail function." message.

Both forms have the green frame on the "setup email"-pane and all the fields have the exact same settings (for both forms)

This is code for the left (white form) that's sending ok

Thanks for looking at this!

Hi sweet160,

I split this from the other thread as the topic is very different.

No real idea why one form should give this error. I can only see one form on the page though.

Bob

thanks for your help!

I got it to work reconfiguration the mail settings!
