Can you send email to that address from that server?

On unixy systems the mail log is usually in (shocker) /var/log/maillog.

For a Windows system make sure you have the mail settings in php.ini
setup correctly (see http://php.net/mail for full info).

Your message could have bounced or been rejected for some other reason, in
which case you wouldn't have recieved it, but it'll look like it's sent
fine.

 Subject: [PHP] mail sent but not received?!


 Hi,

 I've been pulling my hair out over this problem for a while...

 
 ?php
 $msg = Hi, this is a test;
 $to = [EMAIL PROTECTED];
 $sbj = test message from my.edu;

 $rev = mail($to,$sbj,$msg);

 echo mail from my.edu result is $rev;
 ?

 Since the result of the mail() returned is 1, the message
 should have been
 delivered fine.  but I did not get anything.  Where can I
 look for more
 clues of what the problem might be, like possible log, or turn on some
 debug level in php?  I've also tried mail($to,$sbj,$msg, -f
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]),
 no workie either.

 Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 Bing

Negative!  $rev will simply let you know that your MTA (mail
transfer agent) accepted your message. The MTA will attempt to deliver
the message at its own will.

 clues of what the problem might be, like possible log, or turn on some
 debug level in php?  I've also tried mail($to,$sbj,$msg, -f [EMAIL PROTECTED]),
 no workie either.

if the mail was unsucessfully delivered, and [EMAIL PROTECTED] is a valid
email then the email will get returned to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

it gets more complicated than that but thats the jest of it.

 
 Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you have access to you're maillog's then view those.

First, let me assure you that this is not one of those shady pyramid schemes
you've been hearing about.  No, sir.  Our model is the trapezoid!
