As long as the second admin is a webmaster, both should receive admin notices by email to each webmaster's address automagically.

Hi Christian,

The answer you gave me did not solve the problem but it made fault visible. As is often the case, the real problem was me!

A few days ago I decided that two of us should get administrative notifications from the site so I changed the 'Admin mail address' in the general preferences, adding the other persons email and separating the two emails with a coma, as one does on a normal email. That is what caused the problem.

Once I changed the mail settings, as you suggested, instead of the inscrutable 'Could not instantiate mail function', I got an error message saying that it didn't recognise the two emails separated by a comma as a valid email address.

So, thank you. You did help me fix it in a roundabout way.

But this lead me back to the original problem I tried to solve. How do I get admin emails directed to two different people?

Any ideas?

With XOOPS 2.0.16, you must modify the preferences, mail setup page with :

Quote:

Mail delivery method : SMTPAUTH
SMTP host(s) / mail.domaine.com
SMTPAuth username : adresse@domaine.com
SMTPAuth password : xxxxxxxxxx
