Error on contact form "Could not instantiate mail function"

[adi_2009]

Hello,

I tried to find topics on joomla forum regarding this issue but I couldn't find any solid solution and this is giving me big troubles already.

When someone completes standard joomla form on my website he gets error message:

"Could not instantiate mail function."

and everything worked just fine till one month ago. These are my settings in configuration.php:

Code: Select all

var $mailer = 'mail';
	var $mailfrom = '[email protected];
	var $fromname = 'Website name';
	var $sendmail = '/usr/sbin/sendmail';
	var $smtpauth = '0';
	var $smtpsecure = 'none';
	var $smtpport = '25';
	var $smtpuser = '';
	var $smtppass = '';

with note that I would still like to use option PHP mail function under combo "Mailer". Is there any solid solution for this and why did it stop working if I didn't change anything?

Many thanks in advance for prompt reply and any help is appreciated!

Cheers;)
