1. Which Limesurvey version do you use?

2. When adding a new admin user an email is send as well. Does that work fine?

Do you host Limesurvey on a server or on your local system?

Does switching to a different email method work for you?

Does emailing work for other web-applications?

Does your provider support email sending using SMTP at all?

I'm having the same error now on Version 2.06+ Build 150629. I haven't changed anything in my SMTP settings. If I send the emails one at a time, they work. I sent 20 at once; the debug appeared to show them sent; however they do not show up as sent in the token list. I don't know what to do. Hopefully not click 170 times! Thanks people.

I am having the same problem. The difference for me is that out of 155 survey participants, only 2 email address reported "instantiate" email errors. All other emails sent out fine. All emails used the same domain address @gwinnett.k12.ga.us. So, I'm unsure why these two rec'd errors.

We are running Lime Survey on Blue Host. Lime Survery Version 2.05+ Build 150211

Any suggestions on my next steps?

Cheers,

Upgrading to Version 2.06+ Build 150825 fixed this for me. Whew! Many thanks to all those who worked on it, including delivery. It was a painless upgrade, done manually as per the guide.

PKSupport -> Thanks for the response. I was able to send the final two addresses by switching browsers...from Chrome to FF. Clearing the cache, deleting, re-entering participants & email addresses had no effect in Chrome. Sigh.

We are using LS via 3rd party hosting service (Blue Host) so I am not entirely sure how upgrading works. This is our first time at the Lime Survey party. I will investigate upgrading and look for "the guide". Thanks for the tip.

Cheers,

I have the same problem. I have Version 2.00+ Build 130708 and I have it on my own server (not done by me). The thing is that it has worked like a charm to use it until a week ago. Now it refuses to send every mail. Tried to send to myself to but it ditn´t work. I can´t update it on my own and my prior computerguy isn´t available so if I can´t solve it I will have to abandon Limesurvey :(
