1.

f ($send_html_messages == "yes") {
$xheaders .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n"; // Mime type
}

can get your mail quietly swallowed by the server. HTML emails are not allowed

2.

$adminmail="admin@nalapachakam.in"; //change to your adminmail

Since this is used for the "From" header, it must be an email account on your domain. Otherwise, it will be swallowed. Forging headers is not allowed.

3. You are on the server Boru and apparently the mail system for it was messed up while the current updates were going on. One user has reported that his script has now suddenly started working again.

with x10hosting's free-hosting accounts - PHP mail() function is as much down as up

a PHP script will work for days - then error out for days - then start to work for days...
with no change to the code or account

I have moved all my sites - that must have Email - to other host

Another option is to set up a Google Apps account for the domain and then route all the email through it via SMTP.

Great.. But can you simply demonstrate how to use Google Apps?

Iam having google apps setup and working for my domain...


Something like a test script to send email via smtp? where can i find smtp server details in google apps cpanel?
