#17228: Error: Could not instantiate mail function
---------------------------+-----------------------------
 Reporter:  vegasgeek      |      Owner:
     Type:  defect (bug)   |     Status:  new
 Priority:  normal         |  Milestone:  Awaiting Review
Component:  Network Admin  |    Version:  3.1
 Severity:  normal         |   Keywords:
---------------------------+-----------------------------
 WP Version: 3.2-bleeding (rev 17693)

 Error Message:
 Could not instantiate mail function. Could not instantiate mail function.
 Could not instantiate mail function.
 Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by
 (output started at /var/www/wpcore/wp-includes/class-phpmailer.php:586) in
 /var/www/wpcore/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 885

 Process to reproduce:
 In network admin, Add site. After submiting new site details, the above
 error message shows up.

 Notes:
 This is running on my local dev server that does NOT have mail
 functionality turned on. Although it's no surprise that it can't send
 email, this error message is new as of the past 3 days (sorry I don't know
 the previous revision number I was on). Prior to an SVN UP a couple days
 ago, adding new sites would work fine and the mail portion would fail
 gracefully.
