You showed real class for apologizing for your recent allegations about a german hacker. Most people would have not recanted their statement even if they found out they were wrong.

Thanks for sharing, but I don’t think that this is the only reason (this plugin you mention)that one may get the “Email Could Not be Sent” error from WordPress…. it could be because phpmail is really disabled on the server ?

Just a thought…

Your Welcome. I don’t really know if this is genuine, or a missed spam comment.

Only the plugin author (or a PHP coder) would be able to fix it to work with 2.7.1 – Our hands our tied, unfortunately.

I had the same problem. I don’t think I was hacked but it did stop working. There were no signs of intruders and my AdWords account remains the same (untouched?). Hopefully someone fixes this problem so I can go back to having my blog the way I want it. Regards!

glad it worked out. Its pretty much why lately I”m hesitant to update preexisting plugins without doing a web search on some reviews. This also made me backup my Database also when i first read your post.

It appears so.. The plugin worked for 2 weeks and then just decided to stop working on Saturday.. Pretty suspicious to me

It was the plugin that caused the problem, I’m not sure if it was an exploit or an error with WP 2.7 (although, it worked fine for the weeks that I had 2.7, just yesterday it decided to screw up)

I replaced Wordpress with WP 2.7.1 and moved my plugins to another folder on my web host (rendering them useless) that did the trick, I was able to login and disable the plugins.
