Is the PHP mail( ) function working? It seems to not for me.

Hey!
I used the mail() function in php but am unable to receive any mails on the desired email id.

Can anyone help me on this?

They may be blocked by the receiving server. Have you tried sending them to another e-mail address?

It works for me.
Try this :
<?php
// TEST OF THE MAIL SYSTEM USING PHP mail()
// this must be a valid email account on your domain

$from = "xxx@xxx.com";

// DOES NOT BOUNCE BACK FROM hotmail!!

$to="xxxx@xxx.com";


$mailbody="Test message sent (PST): \n" . date('l jS \of F Y h:i:s A');
$subject="Test of PHP mail()" ;

// NOT text/html
$headers = "Content-type: text/plain; charset=windows-1251 \r\n";

$headers .= "From: $from\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: $from\r\n";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion();

$resp = mail($to, $subject, $mailbody, $headers);

if( $resp ){
$outcome = "Mail sent" ;
} else {
$outcome = "Mail not sent";
}

print "\nThe mail system said: $outcome\n\n" ;
exit();
?>
