Does any other script on the server work with phpmail?

Is this your server or shared hosting? If the latter i would contact the hoster to hear what they have to say about it.

I know this is not the best answer but currently i don´t have any good idea about that u_name thing.

If you need something for testing here is a php standalone mailscript: <<< link >>>
Sorry, this signature is experiencing technical difficulties. We will return you to the sheduled signature as soon as possible ...

recently i move to a dedicate server.its my server but i dont manage it by myself.

here is the support note about the issue:


Quote:
We had checked the phpmail issue. To confirm the existence of such an issue, we had created a test script named "phpmail_test.php" in the path "/home/.../public_html". The destination mail were set to "Name[AT]yahoo.com" and it worked very well. Please check the logs to confirm.


and phpmail_test.php code:


$to = "Name[AT]yahoo.com";
$subject = "Hi!";
$body = "THIS IS A TEST .....!";
if (mail($to, $subject, $body)) {
  echo("

Message successfully sent!

");
 } else {
  echo("

Message delivery failed...

");
 }
?>


and also it said "Message successfully sent!" but i dont get any email.

same as xoops

Is there a mail log you can check for clues? If it's a Linux server, the log is probably in the directory /var/log.

the problem solved
support reply this hope it can be usefull for others:

Your issue is fixed now.

The problem you faced was due to the fact that your server was configured to prevent
the nobody users from sending mails to outside the server. The php scripts sends mails as nobody
and so we enabled the option. We have successfully sent mails to our yahoo account 'any@yahoo.com'
using 'phpmail_test.php'.
