Email using php

[perry_mason_i]

I am trying to send an email to my yahoo account through php hosted on a free site called www.zfreenet.com, im using the normal format

$add='[e-mail]';
$sub='test';
$body='Testing";
if(!mail($add,$sub,$body))
echo "Failure..";

somehow, i end up getting failure always, even if i send it on other mail addresses like hotmail or gmail, what could be the problem ?

Try using the additional headers parameter to add a valid "From:" email address. See example 1099 on the mail() page.

Enable all error reporting using error_reporting(E_ALL).

Try sending mail from your shell on the server (wherever the problem is).

Check your MTA logs.

If the messages sent from the shell don't arrive and you don't have access to the MTA logs (or bounce messages), then contact your systems admin. They should help you diagnose the problem.
