Hello,

I have checked this site: www.rsjoomla.com/support/documentation/r...-function-error.html

and I found out when I create new user I see the error: Could not instantiate mail function
I tried with the following options in the Joomla configuration:
PHP mail setting I go the following error:
Notice
Could not instantiate mail function.
×
Error
Test mail could not be sent.
When I do the following setting:

Notice
Could not execute: /usr/sbin/sendmail
×
Error
Test mail could not be sent.
when I do the SMTP setting I got the following error:
Notice
SMTP connect() failed. github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/wiki/Troubleshooting
×
Error
Test mail could not be sent.


I have contacted my hosting provider and the answer was: we have now idea how to fix this check with your developer.

Please help, what I should ask them to install in my hosting? not sure

Thanks,

I am having the same problem. Was working prior to installation of RSfirewall. Has to be an exception somewhere. Did you every resolve this?
I could not use Joomla Contacts Component -- I installed Module "Responsive Contact Form" and it worked at one time.

if you are in godaddy, and using their email cpanel server remember they block certain ports like 587. i am using microsoft 365 and using sendmail and it work just fine. i contacted microsoft and they also fixed the emails issue about getting to junk/spam folder.
