"mail does not work" could mean a number of things. php's mail() is a
mail _client_ that submits a message to the local system's MTA. If the
MTA isn't running or not setup properly, the mail sits in the queue
undelivered unless it's local (e.g. mail() sends to root on the local
machine). The various log files will tell you just how far mail() is
working. My guess is that it is, but not somewhere the mail system
either mis-configured or not doing it's thing.

If you don't know or understand how mail works, chances are it's
somewhere outside of mail() control. Once it stuffs a message into the
mail system's queue, it's done. What happens after that is up to you to
figure out. Look at the log files (which ones are left to you to
research).
