    in my email client i get following message

    A message that you sent contained no recipient addresses, and therefore no delivery could be attempted.

    It will occur if the customer's email is invalid. The purchase however does complete successfully.

    Default Re: Email Error: Could not instantiate mail function

    I am getting this same error message. Does anyone know how I fix it?

    The email address I have in the account details for the customer is my own so I know it is correct but when I test it, it doesn't work after it checks out.

    I got "Please check Admin->Configuration->Email Options->Email Transport" so I read the manual, changed it to STMP and now I get: "Email Error: SMTP Error: The following recipients failed"

    Can anyone please help?

    Default Re: Email Error: Could not instantiate mail function

    I changed the email address on the customer account and it went though to the checkout successful page this time. I did get an email with the following though so something isn't going right...
    A message that you sent contained one or more recipient addresses that were incorrectly constructed:

    <>: missing or malformed local part

    This address has been ignored. There were no other addresses in your message, and so no attempt at delivery was possible.
