I am using Yahoo web hosting and was facing the same problem. I could resolve my problem by making following changes-
1. I asked webhosting provider for SMTP Port and SMTP Host details and saved those in Global configuration.

For yahoo the details were as follows

Mailer : PHPMailer
Mailfrom : yourid@yourdomainname.com
From name : as desired
sendmail Path: /usr/sbin/sendmail
SMTP authentication: NO
SMTP security : SSL
SMTP Port : 465
SMTP Host : smtp.bizmail.yahoo.com

(leave SMTP username and PW blank)

2. In '/libraries/phpmailer/phpmailer.php

and in '/libraries/phpmailer.php/smtp.php

I changed the port from '25' to '465'

3. In 'components/com_contact/controller.php'

on 163rd line, $mail --> setSender (array($email, $name))
enter your default mail address as set in ur web hosting server as given below

$mail --> setSender( "id@urdomain.com" )


This worked perfectly for me. Hope it does for you too.

You can check it out at my website http://www.travel-india.co.in

I resoved this problem by changing default smtp port from 25 to 80 in ../libraries/phpmailer/smtp.php line 30. Ask you provider what is your outgoing port.

var $SMTP_PORT = 80;

And for PHP mailer I simply installed Joomla package in other foulder and created new DB, but in this case I have problems with installation some of modules :eek:



As for the smtp, this change works. thanks too much.

I tried to find a solution very hard and got a point where it begins (as I see it).
It starts at line (phpmailer.php):
$params = sprintf("-oi -f %s", $this->Sender);
If I remove last variable from mail() function (i.e. $params) I get message succesfully. Of course, I tried to check what $params contains. I substituted Body by $params and got a string: -oi -f srgg67@gmail.com
So I don't know why it doesn't work with $params but without it that's all right.
Hope somebody go further :)
ps. excuse my bad English :(

Fixed in 30 seconds.
An old site of mie still using Joomla! version 1.5.22
My issue was completely unrelated to any Joomla settings or PHP problems. I received the error whenever the contact form was used. No mail was being sent so I searched the forums, checked my other sites, dabbled with some back-end settings, then realised my mailbox was full.
Yes, as simple as that. I was using Horde webmail in my Plesk server to forward the mail to a Gmail account. The Horde webmail box was full. Emptied the whole folder and voila - issue resolved. Not sure if that helps - hope it does for someone.

Well, my email is not working at all and I don't' have a clue why. I have other 2.5 installs running with the same configuration and those work fine. However, the site I'm now working on gives this error and I can't figure out how to fix it. I have tried everything.

My error was caused by an MX entry, if your using those you might want to check that as well.
