In addition to what LUUK said - there can be a lot of problems -
anywhere from your SMTP server rejecting the message for any of a number
of reasons to the client machine rejecting the message.
P.S. unless you are E. Mousa from time Advertising Agency, you should
not be using his domain name in your code. You should instead use
example.com, example.org, etc., which are specifically reserved for such
uses.
