Probably the most common error when using mail() from within php on a
shared host is to fail to use the -f function to pass a valid sender
address to sendmail (or its analogue). Without that, the 'true' sender
is likely to be 'your-login-name(at)hosting-omain(dot)com' which will fail most
rudimentary validation and simply reject the mail.

I ALWAYS use the -f to set the sender to something like
'webmaster(at)myvirtualdomson(dot)com' and set up that virtual domain so that
webmaster is a valid known target for emails.

e.g.

mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers, "-f webmaster(at)mydomain(dot)com");

is far more likely to get through anti-relay security in the hosts
mailer system.

Start by testing the host mailer with the above line, so

mail("me(at)validmail(dot)com","test message", "From:
another(at)validmail(dot)com\r\n", -f "webmaster(at)mydomain(dot)com");

is where you should start.

If that fails to make it then you need to talk to the hosting company.
