email ist not sent

[raffael3d]

ok I use the mail function to send out a confirmation email after somebody ordered something at the store.

mail($email2,$subject, $MailMsg, $mailheaders);

mail("myname<[e-mail]>",$subject, $MailMsg, $mailheaders);

the second one is working as it is a fixed email address, but the first one is not NOT working. I checked a thousand times if the variable is passed or not and it is, but simply the email is not sent out.

what is wrong with this?
thanks.

Add a line:

mail($email2,$subject, $MailMsg, $mailheaders);
echo 'Email address is ['.$email2.']';

and see what $email2 really is.

yes that's what I did and it displays the email address.

but the email never arrives...
