I did not say that your problem was caused by a badly configured Joomla website; I meant that it was a possibility that shouldn't be excluded. If you bear in mind that Kunena is used on hundreds of thousands of websites around the world, each site using a different combination of Joomla extensions, versions of software, webhosting platforms, database engines, PHP support, etc., and (on the vast majority of those websites) other people do not have the kinds of mail issues that you have, then we need to consider anything and everything.

Thank you for your configuration report. I see that you have annotated your report with a number of querulous comments. You're perfectly entitled to object to providing us with the information we requested (as I mentioned in my previous post) but that does not necessarily give you the right to abruptly call into question our motives, either. I acknowledge your long career in information technology; perhaps (if you looked at our team page ) you might acknowledge the wealth of expertise and free advice here that is available at your disposal, too.

I shall pass this topic along to the development team where, I sincerely hope, that one of our experts may be able to to follow-up this matter with you.

Does that help? I have a thing about posting information like this on a public forum. And my eyes are getting bad as it is without trying to figure out what I don't want to include in that "information" for all to see.

It just seems strange that sendmail WORKS in Joomla and not Kunena - yet you blame it on a bad Joomla configuration. I tried using both PHP Mail and SMTP. Both/either work fine in Joomla - but I get the same results in Kunena.

OK I see you have some sort of script running to reformat that and "hide" sensitive info - I HOPE.

Why does the report say SMTP mail when I have PHP Mail set as my mailer in Joomla?

I don't treasure your job - whether voluntary or otherwise - and i know what it's like to deal with "stupid users". been there - done that many times. (I'm 60 and been into programming since the mid 80's). I just think you come across as a bit rude sometimes - though I know how "short" one can become after doing what you do all day. People don't want to go through any more work than they have to in order to get an answer to a problem. You're just dealing with "human nature".

I don't understand what is particularly difficult about following a few simple guidelines that help you to help us to help you more efficiently and effectively. If you don't want to follow those guidelines then that's OK but this also means that help will be less forthcoming. It's your choice. It's not rudeness on my part; I'm just trying to help. I'm sorry if you don't think that my help was useful to you.

When you look at my contribution to this forum (compared with your contribution to this forum) I think that you'll find my help has always been given freely, fairly and always politely.

In all probability, your problem is probably caused by a misconfigured Joomla website. However I'm not going to make any assumptions in the absence of detailed facts. If you don't want to provide those facts then you're quite welcome to try your luck at the Joomla forum where they'll ask you the same questions.

Why are you being so rude and pointing everyone to a search that just takes you in circles and doesn't really answer or even address the problem?

Unless I'm missing something? Maybe you could point us to the EXACT thread that answers the question or solves the problem? I think most people are smart enough to try a search first - and wouldn't post unless they couldn't find the answer to their problem.

I have the same issue. If I go to the "Mass Mail Users" option in the User Menu of the Joomal Admin Page, I can send emails just fine. So what is the problem with Kunena? I don't see any special email settings just for Kunena, yet it is the only place in Joomla that sending email is not working.

I'm using the latest versions of both Joomla and Kunena.

Here is what appears at the top after each post is made...

Please read the posting guidelines printed at the top of this page and include all details that relate to your problem. Have you searched the forum for "could not instantiate mail function" and what makes you believe that this problem is confined only to Kunena and not, in a broader sense, to mail problems that you might be having elsewhere on your Joomla website?

Email to subscribers doesn't go out was created by emanuelr
When a new post is sent (successfully), a message saying "Could not instantiate mail function" appears above the successful post sending message. And, of course, no email goes out to the subsrcibers of this topic or category.
Tracking the code, I found that the error message was raised by PHPMAILER (from the MailSend function). Probably a problem of generating the header of the email.

I don't have any problem in sending contact forms or emails from articles. They also use the same phpMailer file.

Any idea???

Replied by sozzled on topic [Topic closed by moderator - outdated version] Mail notification broken in 1.5.10!
I'm sorry. I have spent the past 3 hours looking at (and responding to) several other issues. I haven't yet had time to verify the claims made in this discussion topic. Obviously this appears to be fairly serious.

Could someone please provide some information on the circumstances involved so that the situation can be reproduced. I was made aware that there was a problem with a release candidate version of K 1.5.10 that affected "favorites" or maybe it was "subscriptions". Please don't take my word for it; I haven't checked the accuracy of the information.,

Do we know what mail is attempted when the "cannot instantiate mail function" errors appear? Does it have something to do with moderated posts, subscriptions, PMs ... what's the source?
