HTF Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Hi, Could you have a look what I'm doing wrong as php mail function is not working: Error: Could not instantiate mail function. I would like to use my gmail account so I've set joomla admin panel as below: [mail function] ; For Win32 only. ; http://php.net/smtp SMTP = smtp ; http://php.net/smtp-port smtp_port = 25 ; For Win32 only. ; http://php.net/sendmail-from ;sendmail_from = [email protected] Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/190478-php-mail-function/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 You might try removing the sendmail path considering you appear to be using windows, + your wanting to use a remote smtp server anyway.

trq Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 PHP's mail function does not support remote authentication into an smtp server. Joomla likely has there own code that handles this however Ive never used it.
