You haven't told us anything about the system ATutor is running on.

does this help:

You likely need to install, or configure Sendmail.

this is php webspace with a provider. i guess sendmail is already installt - since i can user the mail() function in my own php programs.
does atutor NOT use the regular mail() function?

I now understand, that Atutor does not use php mail(), even if the underlying class would support that. (BTW: why???)
Can I change the
atutormailer.class.php
file so that PHP Mail is used?
Can someone help me to use
IsMail()
instead of
IsSMTP()?
I guess somewhere here:
[code]
function ATutorMailer() {
if (MAIL_USE_SMTP) {
[red] $this->IsSMTP(); [/red] // set mailer to use SMTP
$this->Host = ini_get('SMTP'); // specify main and backup server
} else {
$this->IsSendmail(); // use sendmail
$this->Sendmail = ini_get('sendmail_path');
}
[/code]

edit include/config.inc.php
and set MAIL_USE_SMTP to FALSE, like so:
define('MAIL_USE_SMTP', FALSE);
