phpmailer
I had similar problems. There are actually many forum topics covering this issue.
The problem is the configuration of the webserver or php or sendmail/gmail. The simplest fix is to change which smtp mailer is used in drupal.
Goto:
http://drupal.org/node/7294
and download the phpmailer.zip file. Read the "readme" file and follow the instructions.

php mailer
Hi
I downloaded the zip file that you suggest and i could not find some files to modify. for instance,
3) modify conf.php and add following line:
$conf["smtp_library"] = "includes/phpmailer.inc";
where is that conf.php file? where should i add the above line?Can you please guide me in detail? I'm using Apache server and php ver. 5.
Thank you.
Those instructions are for
Those instructions are for Drupal 4.5. You need to add that line to the sites/default/settings.php file.
1. Add this line to the settings.php file:
<?php$conf["smtp_library"] = "includes/phpmailer.inc";
?>
2. Upload a file called phpmailer.inc into the includes directory. Modify it to your settings. Sometimes, you might not have to modify anything. If you don't have it, it looks like this:
<?php
include_once 'includes/phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php';
function user_mail_wrapper($mail, $subject, $message, $header) {
$mailer = new PHPMailer(); // instantiate a new mailer
$mailer->IsSMTP(); // send via SMTP
$mailer->Host = "localhost"; // SMTP server
$mailer->SMTPAuth = false; // turn on SMTP authentication
// $mailer->Username = ''; // SMTP username
// $mailer->Password = ''; // SMTP password
$mailer->AddAddress($mail); // can only send to one recipient
$mailer->From = 'noreply@example.com'; // from address (default root@localhost)
$mailer->FromName = 'example.com'; // from name (default 'root user')
$mailer->Subject = $subject;
$mailer->AddCustomHeader( explode("\n", $header)); // add custom header info
// if body is not formatted properly change str_replace - see user.module user_mail() for details
$mailer->Body = $message;//str_replace("\n", "\r\n", $message); // Body of message
if(!$mailer->Send()){
watchdog('error', 'mail send error: ' . $mailer->ErrorInfo);
return false;
}
return true;
}
?>
3. Upload the latest phpmailer files from sourceforge.net into the includes/phpmailer directory. My directory has 2 files: class.phpmailer.php and class.smtp.php
4. If you are designing modules, make sure you send email via the user_mail function like this:
<?phpif (user_mail($email, $subject, $message, "")) {
drupal_set_message("Your message was sent to ". $email);
} else {
drupal_set_message("Your message could not be sent to ". $email, "error");
}
?>
Complement of information on point 3
I'm not a Linux geed and thus point 3 was difficult to achieve. I just would like to precise the includes/phpmailer directory is related to the PHP installation, not Drupal. E.g. in my case, the absolute path was: \lib\php\includes\phpmailer.
Actually, it is in the
Actually, it is in the drupal path, not the php path.
I think that the method you described (putting it in the php path) works because you configured PHP to use that. We are configuring drupal to use phpmailer.
