PHPMail Issues

[EricHamby]

I am having issues with phpmail and smtp mail. I have whmcs and ip.board installed on my server and they wont send mail using phpmail or smtp. I also use wordpress which seems to work ok.

One WHMCS when using phpmail i get this error
Email Sending Failed - Could not instantiate mail function.

When using smtp i get this error
Email Sending Failed - SMTP Error: The following recipients failed: [email protected]

I edited the email the X's aren't part of the error

I have tried contacted support many.... MANY times but is worthless. I would like to know if anyone.. ANYONE else has had this issue before i just go back over to cpanel. Im sure this is a simple issue with perhaps installation or something, i just cant get support to even try anything other than say o well.

Please anyone that can help with this.

Do you have in php.ini on your Windows server something like

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = 127.0.0.1
smtp_port = 25

?

Not sure which ini i should be looking at but the one located at C:\windows does read

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost
smtp_port = 25

We are also getting such errors

Linux server
Plesk 10.44 version

have this in /etc/php.ini

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost
smtp_port = 25

How can I fix this from happening.

Message was not sent
Mailer Error: Could not instantiate mail function.

This is intermediate error , any idea what is going on
