odds are your headers are not be approved by the recipient server and getting the messages bounced.

A TRUE value from the mail() function only means that the sending mail server accepted the email. It does not mean that it was sent or that it was accepted by the receiving mail server.

 

The format of the from address header is "From: some_address@some_domain.com". If the format was incorrect, your mail server likely discarded the email. If the format was correct and you actually put an @gmail.com from address, the gmail mail server will discard the email because it knows that it did not come from a gmail mail server. The From: address must be a valid email address hosted at the sending mail server or you must have an SPF DNS zone record at the domain in the from address that says that your mail server is authorized to send email for that domain.
