Send Mail producing error

I believe this is on my hosting end, but I am not sure how to track it down.

Problem:  All functions that require sending e-mail error out on me. 

1. When clicking "submit" after creating a new account.
2. When clicking on "submit" from the "forgot password".
3. When clicking "Send" from Admin/Customers/Send Mail

Error (super generic):  "500 - Internal server error.  There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed."

OpenCart Version: 1.1.7  fresh install (this has been happening for me with version 1.1 - 1.7)

My hosting company is edthosting.com

Thank you in advance for any suggestions you may have.

Contact your host it sounds like they have disabled sending emials via PHP's built in functions.

ask them, if the function sendmail is disabled...

Thank you very much for the quick response.  I will contact them and post the results.

Thank you,

John

Update:

My hosting company responded, and recommended that I use CDOSYS.  This is the Microsoft mail sender.  They said it should work with most applications.


Should I try it?



John

change hosts.

CDOSYS is for ASP not PHP.

They don't have skill to setup a PHP server.
