Problem emailing with PHPMAILER script

[Poster]

I've been trying to configure phpmailer script to send email after having submitted a form.

However, I keep getting this error message:

Message was not sent

Mailer Error: Language string failed to load: from_failedmyemail@mydomain.com

Here's part of the php code:

require("class.phpmailer.php");

$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->Mailer   = "smtp";
$mail->IsSMTP();                                   // send via SMTP
$mail->Host     = "smtp.myisp.com"; // SMTP servers
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;     // turn on SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = "myispusername";  // SMTP username
$mail->Password = "myisppassword"; // SMTP password

$mail->From     = "myemail@mydomain.com";
$mail->FromName = "My Name";
$mail->AddAddress($Email); 
$mail->AddCC("myemail@mydomain.com");

$mail->WordWrap = 50;                              // set word wrap
$mail->IsHTML(false);                               // send as HTML 

I've tried to find the answer on my own through my web host's forums, however, I'm still scratching my head as it's not sending any email.

Any help would be great!

Thanks!

The error that you get is not the error it self, but the message that sais that it can't locate the error message (because you haven't upload the files with the errors)

Did you tried to use :

$mail->IsSendmail(); 

?

The above type don't require to have sendmail in your server, as php has a way to pretend it has (it is some php.ini settings that are used for that)

Thanks for the suggestion Nikolas,
I've changed it to use sendmail instead and I don't get the error message now.

However, I still don't receive any email from the form.

I've had this problem with a few different scripts - everything seems to go ok except that no email ever arrives.

Any ideas? Anyone else have this problem?

thanks!

If you're on a dedicated server, make sure you allow "nobody" to send mail. You're prone to spamming alittle more, but this was the problem with a clients script.

my site's on a shared server, don't know if it's a problem with the web host in that case?

It looks like I've found the problem, ends up my web host disabled all the mail functions on the shared server I'm on (of course without notifying anyone else!!!)

thanks for all your help.
