This may be too late, but I used a different approach to mailing because PHP mail() never seemed to work. Instead, I used fsockopen("ssl://smtp.gmail.com"...) and sent the email with SMTP manually.

+1 to x10 hosting for allowing fsockopen!

That's... not right. Our firewall should be blocking that connection. We're looking into this.

I know, it hasn't been updated so I was asking for an update.

Please fix this ASAP.

Thanks.

It's up to Google to actually fix it; x10Hosting can only push for it.

We (not x10hosting) just did one more 'send PHP mail()' test from server [ Vox ] to a Gmail account - received at Google account with no issues

Email from server Vox - PHP mail() returned TRUE
UTC timestamp Fri Apr 4,2014 23:25:50 GMT
Server timestamp Fri Apr 4,2014 18:25:50 CDT - GMT offset of -18000 seconds
Local timestamp Fri Apr 4,2014 16:25:50 - GMT offset of 25200 seconds

I sent many emails to my Outlook account and no one got received . Did the same with Google and the emails were sent correctly.

I'd reach out to Outlook/Windows Live/hotmail/Whatever it is now and see if they're blacklisting our email server.

I am on absolut. I only get emails sent to ymail.com even yahoo isn't working

Please continue looking for a fix....

It seems that is not only x10hosting, i sent emails from php to Outlook through miarroba hosting and no emails got received. I think that the problem is with Outlook.

Still not working the php mail() function on vox servers, someone please help us D:

Again, the problem, such as it is, is at the receiving end, not the sending end. Your complaint of "I can't receive messages from my own website" to the mail provider will carry a lot more weight than x10Hosting's "our users can't send (potential spam) email to your users".

@essellar
It's looking like there might be a problem with our mail server rejecting some emails. we're working on repairing it.

Further to my recent post in the cron job thread - I can now confirm that my issue is not with PHP mail specifically, but is similar to the above users.
My site needs to send verification emails to newly registered users and while I am still in the testing phase at the moment, this could become a serious issue if users are unable to sign up when we go live.

I have successfully received emails from my site to a hushmail account, but neither gmail nor hotmail are receiving emails.
Are you able to confirm if the issue is on your end or with Google/Msoft? So I can take appropriate action.

edited to add: just this minute received an email to a gmail account, was one I sent ages ago, but it has finally arrived.
