This question already has an answer here:
Good morning,
Today I have found something wrong in my website when I try to send an e-mail trough the mail() PHP function. The mail is not sent and I have this error message:
Warning: mail() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/user/html/modules/mod_jumi/tmpl/default.php(18) : eval()'d code on line 57
What can I do in order to know which is the problem in this module? I have to enable the mail() function somewhere in my Joomla 3.3?
And that's my line 57:
mail('mymail@mail.com','Contact from',$message,$headers);
Thanks,
Regards,

It means that whatever host you're using has disabled mail(). Note that mail() can be used to send out mass spam, for example:
while(true) {
mail('mymail@mail.com','Contact from',$message,$headers);
}
A lot of shared hosts throttle mail() or outright disable it. You'll have to contact your hosting provider about the issue.
