Problem sending mail

[cosmo7]

I'm having a problem sending mail using the mail() function in PHP.

I used a simple script just to test it out:

<?php
// The message
$message = "Line 1\nLine 2\nLine 3";

// In case any of our lines are larger than 70 characters, we should use wordwrap()
$message = wordwrap($message, 70);

// Send
$rc = mail('[e-mail]', 'Test Subject', $message);

if ($rc) {
  print "Mail successfully sent!<br>";
}
else {
  print "Failed to send mail<br>";
}
?>

I ran the script and it gave me the "Mail successfully sent!" message but nothing arrived.
My webhost uses CPanel. Is there anything I can configure there maybe?

The code looks fine - it might be that the email is being filtered out by spam filters, which could be due to the basic construction of the email. Try adding a 'from' header:

$header = "From: [e-mail]\r\n";

// Send
$rc = mail('[e-mail]', 'Test Subject', $message, $header);

I can't say exactly what might cause an email to be identified as spam, but it's often simple things like a missing or invalid from address. It's worth having a look into your mail server logs, if you have access to them.
