 * Just sent a message from the email option in this plug in. This is the error:
 * Message failed!
 * Check your settings and check with your hosting providerCould not instantiate
   mail function.
 * The message went to 1396 recipients. Never had a problem prior.
 * Please advise.

 * It will be a false negative. The server reported an issue to WordPress and Subscribe2
   so you saw an error message. If the emails were sent and arrived successfully
   you can ignore it or perhaps get your hosting provider to take a look at why 
   the server is reporting an error on success.

 * Well, I just spoke to Godaddy. Apparently, I am limited to 1000 e-mails per day.
   So none of them went out apparently. What I don’t understand is what happens 
   when I make a blog post. I never receive such an error when I do a blog post.
   Do they go out differently when through a blog post?

 * The code doesn’t try to report an error when you publish a post as this may affect
   the post publication resulting in failed blogging. I would not be at all surprised
   if your emails were not sending at all or maybe the first 1,000 get sent and 
   the rest are discarded on the server. You need to work with GoDaddy to find ways
   to relax the limit.

 * That was exactly my thought. Godaddy says there is nothing that can be done. 
   Is this odd for a web hosting co? Perhaps I should consider moving my site elsewhere?

 * Odd, no not really, all hosting providers implement some form of limitations 
   to stop spammers and secure the sever uptime. If you have a lot of subscribers
   then upgrading or moving would be a wise move.
