mass emailer error

[aleams]

Hi, I got an error when I tried to send a mass email to all members of my forum.
The error message read
[code]  Failed sending email ]

and here is the 233th line in my emailer.php file
[code]  if (!$result)         {             message_die(GENERAL_ERROR, 'Failed sending email ]

Can you help me to fix this?

usually that error means that either your host has set a limit to the amount of emails you can send at one time, or has disabled the mail function in php.ini
Your best bet is to use smtp for your mail service. your mail servr will usually mail.youre url.com. The settings are in ACP/general admin/configuration/
