Bulk emails sent through the admin section creating error message

HI,

When trying to send bulk email message to customers, the following message appears: Could not instantiate mail function. Please check Admin->Configuration->Email Options->Email Transport

I checked the email transport and it is set to php. The site is hosted on a linux server. So I am at a loss as to what it could be.

Thanks for any input or feedback.

Change it to SMTPAUTH and provide SMTP credentials for a real mailbox. That should prevent the problem.
