PHP mail() on Chopin not working?

[swimkleptz72]

My PHP script is processing the form data fine but when I send it returns failed. It was working the other day. Everything else seems to be working fine, web access, cPanel, etc. The script seems to be working since the form data is being logged correctly even though the mail call doesn't seem to be working. mail() only returns a boolean. It there a way to get more information on the failure?

Thanks.

Some domains are blacklisting the servers due to abuse from other users-as far as I know hotmail and yahoo do this. Have you tried sending to a variety of email accounts/domains?

Alternatively, you could set up google apps for your domain (which is free) and use their mail servers.

Thanks for your response. The form normally sends a reply to the sender (who enters their email) and then one a fixed address (gmail actually) for the person who handles the data. For testing the data is being sent to just gmail accounts. I noticed the hotmail and yahoo kickbacks in my mail folder so I was planning on dealing with that in the future. However this looks more like the mail() call is failing right away. So I was thinking maybe a server error or a feature that has recently been disabled??? I don't know about the google apps for mail. I only have a subdomain, would it still work? If so do you have a pointer to some more info?

Thanks.
