Email Error: Could not instantiate mail function
HELP! What does this email error mean?
I sent out a newsletter today and part way through I got this error. Now I'm not getting any messages. I've gotten two orders (knew it because Paypal sent me an email) but ZenCart isn't generating any confirmations. I tried placing a test order and when I hit the Submit order button this error showed up and nothing else.

Re: Email Error: Could not instantiate mail function
Thank you for sending the links.
Is there a list of error messages somewhere? Through reading and contacting my hosting provider, I believe this particular error is because I've reached my limit for emails for the day. I can't test this until tomorrow when my email count goes back to zero.
Again, thank you for responding.

Re: Email Error: Could not instantiate mail function
It literally means exactly what it says: when it attempted to instantiate a connection to the email server to send an email, it was unable to do so.
