 * I didn’t change anything at my wordpress website but suddenly I get the following
   error message when using e.g. the contact form:
 * Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Could not execute mail delivery program ‘/usr/
   sbin/sendmail -t -i ‘ in /home/www/worldwidexchange/wp-content/themes/charitas-
   wpl/template-contact.php on line 36
 * line 36 of the template says:
 * 36 mail($emailTo, $subject, $body, $headers);
    37 $emailSent = true;
 * I did not change any of my settings. WordPress does not send any e-mails at all
   anymore (new user registration etc…)
 * Please help ;-/

 * Have you talked to your hosting providers about this issue?
