I have created a simple contact form on my new site and it is not sending the email.
I am not new to PHP or server side email scripts, I have created dozens of them. I also have a very strong technical background.
I have searched the forums, FAQ and found no answers. I have also created several test scripts and used some of the scripts found in the Forums... none of them work.
Interesting is that I can telnet to the mail server on port 25 and webmail works from my cPanel, all of which are on STARKA.
Have I missed something in my cPanel setup to get the script to work?
The last test script I used is below (which was taken from the forums).
Thank you in advance,

I created a work around to log into the SMTP server. While the form works the issue is not resolved as I would like to understand why the PHP mail() function does not work.
