PHP is not sending mail.

[inadim8956]

I have tried to send mail using the php mail() function, and I added a test case as follows:

$mail_sent = mail( $to, $subject, $message, $headers );

echo $mail_sent ? "Mail sent" : "Mail failed";

and the output is "Mail Sent", yet I receive nothing on the email specified in the $to variable!!

I want to know what is wrong. And I`m sure that there is nothing wrong with my code as I have been working with it for a while on other free servers.

Any help would be appreciated!!

cPanel-->Webmail-->SquirrelMail and check for returned messages.

Hotmail and Yahoo are blocking messages from x10hosting's email server due to abuse by some members.

ok, what about gmail or private exchange servers?? I have tried to send to an exchange server (my university e-mail).

I have checked the SquirrelMail and found an error!!

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at outgoing.x10hosting.com.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

I'm not going to try again; this message has been in the queue too long.

Basically, hotmail has blacklisted our domain. I'll try to contact them.

I don`t know what is wrong now, when I changed the emails, from and to, I just get message failed on my page and I can`t find anything in SquirrelMail I don`t know how to send mails from my php applications.

I NEED HELP!!

Seems there is a problem on your server, Chopin, with mail().

You are not the only one. Several others have reported the same problem of the mail() function returning False (ie, not sent).

I have notified Staff and they are looking into it.

And how long will it take to fix this problem??

Hello. Mail on the Chopin server seems to be enabled again. Are you experiencing this issue?

Also, make sure the mail is sent to an address that's not Hotmail or Yahoo, as these two are blocking our servers right now. This problem isn't caused by PHP Mail not working, but by server abuse from some other users in the past.
