Re: [PHP] mail() function returns TRUE but no email is sent

Sure, it just passes it off to the MTA.  If the MTA drops the ball later
on we don't know about it.  Check your logs.

RE: [PHP] mail() function returns TRUE but no email is sent

[Demitrious S. Kelly]

I would check the mail logs on the smtp server ?(if you have access)
or... try this and see if ANY mail is bveing sent to you (assumes a unix
server with sendmail (or compatible) binary installed)

 $fp=fopen('./tmp', 'w');
 fputs($fp, 'Subject: '.$reportsubject.chr(10));
 fputs($fp, $reportmail);
 fclose($fp);
 foreach($reportaddr as $addr) {
`cat ./tmp | $sendmail $addr`;
 }
 unlink('./tmp');

(taken from a script I wrote for a server which didn't have mail() due
to an annoying problem
