External SMTP is blocked on Free Hosting servers; all mail must go out through outbound spam filters. Also, spoofing the From header is not allowed; mails not from an email address that exists and is actually part of your account will be silently discarded.

Well, I am have not broken any of the rules you mentioned. How come I don't receive them?

Edit:
I get it, you people don't allow automated mails.

PHPMailer has its own [ SMTP ] protocol which is external to x10hosting's free-hosting servers
All outgoing email must pass through x10hosting's Email (SMTP) server - to be scanned for spam and phishing and other test

I get it, you people don't allow automated mails.
not true - they do allow "automated" Emails - but you must use their SMTP server

I am using X10 smtp server, not external.

Can you instruct me how to make it work?

Just use the PHP mail() function if it's available as an option. And don't test using things like "test" or "Testing"; that won't make it through the filter.
