php mail function

hello there, im trying to add a form mailer to my site using PHP. however it does not seem to be working.
i simplified my script to just the very very basics, and still cannot get it to work.
is the mail function disabled and am i required to use smtp?

Check your email using cPanel to ensure none of the "sent" messages are bouncing back. Some email providers block x10's mail servers due to past abuse. I find using SMTP is easiest-have you considered Google apps?

heya thanks for the reply,
was sending to an x10hosting email address, no bounces, and the mail function was just totally refusing, returned false from if statement around mail().

however, today it is working fine (im on chopin, saw a few more posts after i posted, seems it is common)

so i guess case closed for now!

thank again
