Hey guys, Could anyone please help me with this issue ?
We upgraded our Moodle from 2.8.5+ to 2.8.7+ and everything works fine but the mailing service. We use Moodle PHP server for emails (Not SMTP) and now no emails is sending from Moodle. (Confirmation emails, emails from forums ...)
It really made me confused as I've tested whatever solution I found on the net. Please help me with any ideas you might have. Appreciate your kind responses in advance.

The error I get when trying to register as a new user is :
" Tried to send you an email but failed!
and in logs (reports) it says :
"Failed to send an email from the user with id '-20' to the user with id '10082'
due to the following error: "Could not instantiate mail function.". "
Hi,
Please try the php mail() function using sample mail sending script and confirm whether it is working or not. If not, please verify the mail process is working or not.
Did you solve this? I am getting exactly the same error message when a user creates a new account. I am using Moodle 2.7 on a Linnux server, and I upgraded from 2.6 but in my case I have never been able to send emails - even though I have double checked the email settings. Tried Google as well as 1and1 email settings.
Can anyone help please, because this doing my head in and I have searched on Moodle where many people have the similar problems, but no solutions.
PhpMailer from version 2.4.8 has been mentioned in the forums - I will try that out.
Hello Dabir,
I recently updated a site from 2.5 to 2.7 and the email stopped working. It ended up the Support email field was blank and defaulting to an email address that was different then the email account being used to send emails. Once I set the support email address to match, email worked again.
Hope that helps.
Ron
