functions_messenger.php on ver 3.0.5 causing emailing issues (fix completed in vcs)

After updating forums from 3.0.1 all the way to 3.0.5. I found out that some emails weren't being sent per an error in the error log.
-------------
E-mail error
?? EMAIL/PHP/mail()
/forums/posting.php

[phpBB Debug] PHP Notice: in file /includes/functions_messenger.php on line 446: mail(): Bad parameters to mail() function, mail not sent.
---------------
I narrowed down the error to when there was an email to be sent as a notification for a new post in a followed topic.

I posted a support forums: viewtopic.php?f=46&t=1635645

After enough trial and error another user came up with the solution to swap out the .../includes/functions_messenger.php from the v.3.0.4 update with the v.3.0.5 one and it worked.
Multiple people have confirmed this to be a temporary solution.

I have the same problem here.
Alert emails for send/receive Private Messages are OK but all other emails (topic reply, user registration, etc) are not working.
Just updated from 3.04 to 3.05.
Forum was working fine before that.

Error Log:
E-mail erro
ยป EMAIL/PHP/mail()
/bbs/cron.php

[phpBB Debug] PHP Notice: in file /includes/functions_messenger.php on line 693: mail() [function.mail]: Bad parameters to mail() function, mail not sent.

If you are able to, can you provide my FTP access so I can test it at your board as well? You can send it to me by PM (Please include your board url).
Thanks :)
