Open classes/phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php

at around line 111 change this

var $Mailer            = "mail";
to
var $Mailer            = "sendmail";

Try a test email


If that works now tell me if it's godaddy hosting :p

I am having a issue. after I upgraded from 1.3.4 sp3 to 1.3.5 everything went smooth. I am having one issue thou, after testing the shopping cart and placing an order as a unregistered customer I get an error

Error

Message could not be sent.
Mailer Error: Could not instantiate mail function.

The funny thing is the mail is working fine. I am receiving mail on both ends (customer and administrator) so why would this message be appearing for no reason at all?

What is causing this. I haven't had this problem before on previous version. Anyone that can help that would be great.

I tried what you listed, still didn't work...and yes, I do have godaddy hosting. Any thoughts on godaddy with this issue?
