    Default Mail function?

    I have an issue i'm hoping someone can help me with. I've tried using the php mail function to send mail but it kicks back an error saying it can't instantiate mail function. So when I switch to SMTP it says that it can't authenticate.

    How do we get whmcs to authenticate itself?

    What fields are you populating for phpmail

    Essential nothing should be filled in above "mail signature", do you have a real support department made and selected for the "form destination" field.

    My guess is that something is wrong with your php config if you have everything populated correctly.

    As for SMTP its probably a user error with the wrong information. If your using cPanel it will give you what your port you are using etc.

    Those settings do not take effect if you have PHP Mail() selected. They can be filled in without causing any issues.
