With some hostings the sendmail doesn't work when you choose for mail type 'mail'. The phpmailer class adds by default some extra parameters and it works if these extras parameters are removed.
I think it's better to have something configurable in joomla! than modifing phpmailer class after each joomla! upgrade.
After several months waiting for further information on this at joomlacode I am closing this.
Sorry , i had completly forgot this one, it's not me which has the issue but an user, i asked to him to give me the log but i has recevied no answers. This issue happens with some hostings companies...
When the people ask their hosting company about this issue, their answer si to modify the phpmailer class at line 769 and in the following line to remove the $params :
$rt = @mail($to, this->EncodeHeader($this->SecureHeader($this->Subject)), $body, $header, $params);
In the php.ini it's set like that:
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/smtppush -t -i -f info@domainname.fr smtp_port = 25 smtp = localhost
