Sending failed using mail() as PHP's default mail() function returned boolean FALSE


Can you please use a mailer other than php mail for now, this error simply means your server environment is running an old version of some components or that mail() is disabled, or that your webhost is running PHP safe_mode.

We recommend you use SMTP with Authentication, If you ask your webhost, the majority of webhosts will explain what details you need for this, and then you just put them into Joomla Global Configuration.
