Many "mail does not work" problems are not related to the PHP, but
rather to the mail itself being sent. Maybe the mail is rejected at the
remote end because it looks too much like spam, or because the sending
address is invalid, or because it's coming from a machine on a network
with a list of authorized machines to send mail and this thing is not
it. Mail() returning true only means that whatever the local submission
calls for completed successfully.
