Cant send mail from webserver

[JJohnsenDK]

Im having problems sending mails from my webserver. I have tried to make a small php script which sends a simple mail:

 

 

<?php
$to = "[email protected]";
$subject = "Test af mail sendning";
$message = "Jaaah, dette er så en test.";
$headers = "From: [email protected]";
echo "<h2>This sends mail to ".$to."</h2>";
if(mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)){
   echo "Send!";
}else{
   echo "Could'nt send the mail ";
}
?> 

 

And it unfortunally shows: "Couldnt send the mail ".

 

What could be wrong? Can i in any way test my webserver?

Do you have Postfix or sendmail installed?  Does typing "man mail" on command line give you a manual page?

 

Postfix or Sendmail are required in order for the mail function to work.

how do i check if one of those are installed? the webserver is running on a Zend Core installation.

Is this on a hosting service? A lot of hosting services have started filtering stuff from mail() that has a From header they don't like. Try using a From email that is from the same domain as a test.

 

And obviously, check your spam filters....
