 * Hi!
    The problem “Could not instantiate mail function” means that your server
   have a problem with sending emails from it. Please contact your hosting provider
   and ask them to check PHP email functionality for you. If you will have no success
   with resolving this issue with your hosting provider – please contact us through
   our [internal support](https://supsystic.com/contact-us/). We will check what
   is wrong and will help you to solve the problem.

 * I find this reply to be incorrect. When you use your test feature it works just
   fine. However, when you are using a form you get the “Could not instantiate mail
   function” error.
 * WordPress 4.7.1 did make an update to the PHPMailer and that is more than likely
   the issue.
