Hi, Alan.

Joomla 2.5 can send email using both the PHP mail() function and with standard SMTP authentication. If you try to use the standard PHP mail() function but your server does not support it, you may receive the following error:

Could not instantiate mail function

To resolve this issue, we recommend setting up Joomla to use SMTP Authentication rather than the PHP mail function().

- Instead of saying: 'it's not working', explain the problem in detail.
- Screenshots with the URL visible in them and the problem marked are more than welcome.
- Tell us how to replicate the problem, we can't fix it if we can't find it.
- Make sure that your site/server meets JomSocial System Requirements
- Make sure to setup JomSocial Cron Job
- Always provide us with access details to the backend and ftp. We need it to debug problems.
- If you have a similar problem, but a solution you found isn't working, open a new thread instead of 'merging' with an existing one.

- Use the "Thank You" feature on any post that helped you
