Using the contact form provided by the Drupal core system, the following error occurs:
Warning: mail(/var/log/php_mail.log) [function.mail]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in DefaultMailSystem->mail() (line 76 of /home/villital/public_html/drupal/modules/system/system.mail.inc).
Warning: mail(/var/log/php_mail.log) [function.mail]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in DefaultMailSystem->mail() (line 76 of /home/villital/public_html/drupal/modules/system/system.mail.inc).

Nevertheless the emails are delivered correctlyto the user (Send yourself a copy) and to the email address of the website.
I found several issues regarding this problem but none of the provided solutions seems to work for me.

More information about your server configuration is required

And given that the send works this seems like normal to me for now

What information of the server do you exactly need?
I have no experience what so ever.

That's a configuration issue. This /var/log/php_mail.log file is apparently written by PHP, would should have a reference to it somewhere in your configuration of PHP.

Now you've lost me.
I have no clue what file I should open to add the reference (settings.php, default.settings.php or another one?).
And how do I set a reference in that file to the problem file name?

@ritsd: most likely you should contact the support team of your hosting provider. From the look of it, it is a system-wide issue, unrelated to Drupal.

The problem is solved.
As you suggested there was a small misconfiguration on the server.
The people of Siteground did a great job and now all works as expected.
Thanks for your support!
