 * Hello-
    I’m using Paid Membership Pro Plugin and your WP Mail Log. Your Log shows
   an error message “Could Not Instantiate Mail Function.” I think this is an issue
   on Paid Membership Pro end, however, I wanted to know exactly what that error
   message means.
 * Thank you for your Time.

 * Hi [@klmd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/klmd/),
    the plugin just saves
   the error message from the mail-provider which is default phpmailer. Depending
   on your plugins this might be even swapped out.
 * It seems like there is a issue with your server that can’t send mails.
    Please
   look into details with “phpmailer Could Not Instantiate Mail Function.” E.g. 
   [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1944631/could-not-instantiate-mail-function-why-this-error-occurring](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1944631/could-not-instantiate-mail-function-why-this-error-occurring)
 * There is nothing more I can do because it’s beyond the scope of this plugin.
