Could you provide the code you are using? Did you try to send emails to a different email (of a different email provider)?

<?php
$to="parretti.francescoit@gmail.com";

I'm also having intermittent issues with the mail() function. Every time my script runs it claims the email has been successfully sent, however I rarely receive an email in my Inbox.
Code snippet below:
$to = "javelin***@iinet.net.au"; // Obfuscated email address
$subject = "Javelin | " . _INPUT('name') . " has made contact";
$message = stripslashes(commentCheck(_INPUT('comment'))) . "<br>";
$header = "From: " . _INPUT('email') . "\r\n";
$header .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
mail($to, $subject, $message, $header);
echo "<p class=\"msg\">Thank you, " . _INPUT('name') . ". Your message has been successfully sent. You should receive a response shortly.</p>\n";
Any non-standard functions are simply there to validate the user's form data.Last edited by javelin; 05-27-2015 at 01:15 PM.

You mail has been probably blocked by a antispam filter.

And when you set a Content-Type header you should add a MIME-Version header to be compliant with specifications."Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind."

Thanks for the heads up. I made the changes - which worked for a day - and now emails aren't working again. Originally Posted by saitfainder
