Could not instantiate mail function.

[kanhaiya122108]

Recently I'm getting the following error.

WP_Error Object
(
    [errors] => Array
        (
            [wp_mail_failed] => Array
                (
                    [0] => Could not instantiate mail function.
                )

        )

    [error_data] => Array
        (
            [wp_mail_failed] => Array
                (
                    [to] => Array
                        (
                            [0] => testgmail@gmail.com
                        )

                    [subject] => The subject
                    [message] => The email body content
                    [headers] => Array
                        (
                        )

                    [attachments] => Array
                        (
                        )

                    [phpmailer_exception_code] => 2
                )

        )

    [additional_data:protected] => Array
        (
        )

)

I have changed the 'To' email for example above. I also check with hosting and they have mail() enable.

waiting for response.
