Zen version is 1.3.8a
PHP version is 5.2.42
Email Transportation Method set to PHP
Order confirmation, welcome email, etc, all work fine, so there is nothing wrong with the selected transportation method in my setup.
When I try to use this transport method with the Contact Us form, however I get an Could not instantiate mail function error. It ONLY occurs in the contact form.
I note that this has been discussed elsewhere as an issue, but always assumed to be an issue with the host server. It cannot possibly be an issue with my server if all other mail sends without problem using PHP mail function.
I was able to work around it by changing to transport via smtpauth, but this does not change the issue with the contact form, which should also work perfectly well under PHP mail function, given that all other mail functions work.
