Keep in mind that hotmail (micorosft) spam filter is a pita, and they 
will not tell you if the mail was detected as spam, for then it will 
never get to your mailbox, only mail that they think may or may not be 
spam will end up in the junk mail folder.

Usually mail without a proper mail header will be regarded as spam and 
never be delivered to the receiver.

mail() just returns true or false and even if you get a true result, you 
aren't guaranteed that mail will be sent, you will only know it had a 
successful connection to the SMTP/sendmail.
