Start simply, run this script and see what happens
<?php
$to = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]';
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = 'hello';
$headers = "From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" .
"Return-Path: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
var_dump(mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers));
?>
It is possible that your email is going out, but getting rejected, and
the return path will help you establish that. If mail() fails, as
stated above you're going to need to check your logs for more
information. You might want to even consider using Pear Mail
(http://pear.php.net/package/Mail) to provide you with more helpful
error messages.
