    PHP Contact form seems to work fine but I never receive emails - please help.

    Title should say it all me thinks.

    Form code:
    Code:
    <form name="contactform" method="post" action="formsend.php">
    <table width="450px">
    </tr>
    <tr>
     <td valign="top">
      <label for="first_name">First Name *</label>
     </td>
     <td valign="top">
      <input  type="text" name="first_name" maxlength="50" size="30">
     </td>
    </tr>
     
    <tr>
     <td valign="top"">
      <label for="last_name">Last Name *</label>
     </td>
     <td valign="top">
      <input  type="text" name="last_name" maxlength="50" size="30">
     </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
     <td valign="top">
      <label for="email">Email Address *</label>
     </td>
     <td valign="top">
      <input  type="text" name="email" maxlength="80" size="30">
     </td>
     
    </tr>
    <tr>
     <td valign="top">
      <label for="telephone">Telephone Number</label>
     </td>
     <td valign="top">
      <input  type="text" name="telephone" maxlength="30" size="30">
     </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
     <td valign="top">
      <label for="comments">Comments *</label>
     </td>
     <td valign="top">
      <textarea  name="comments" maxlength="1000" cols="25" rows="6"></textarea>
     </td>
     
    </tr>
    <tr>
     <td colspan="2" style="text-align:center">
      <input type="submit" value="Submit">   <a href="http://www.freecontactform.com/email_form.php">Email Form</a>
     </td>
    </tr>
    </table>
    </form>
    
    PHP code:
    
    <?php
    if(isset($_POST['email'])) {
         
        // EDIT THE 2 LINES BELOW AS REQUIRED
        $email_to = "agent@007.elementfx.com";
        $email_subject = "Your email subject line";
         
         
        function died($error) {
            // your error code can go here
            echo "We are very sorry, but there were error(s) found with the form you submitted. ";
            echo "These errors appear below.<br /><br />";
            echo $error."<br /><br />";
            echo "Please go back and fix these errors.<br /><br />";
            die();
        }
         
        // validation expected data exists

          return str_replace($bad,"",$string);

        $email_message .= "Comments: ".clean_string($comments)."\n";
         
         
    // create email headers
    $headers = 'From: '.$email_from."\r\n".
    'Reply-To: '.$email_from."\r\n" .
    'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
    @mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers);

    Re: PHP Contact form seems to work fine but I never receive emails - please help.

    Make sure you check your spam or bulk folder. Some mail servers don't like mail from x10hosting.
    Additionally some may block it if the email_from is a domain which has a restrictive spf. You might want to change the "from" field to an email account on your domain.
    Just leading the flock.
