how can I test php mail?

[wright67uk]

What is the best way to test an email has been sent when using php mail?

 

I need to add a mysql update, but I need to test that the email has definitely been sent.

 

Is it good enough to put the below code into an IF block?

 $to      = $user_email;
 $subject = 'A reminder from TNT';
 $message = $info_msg;
 $headers = 'From: [email protected]' . "\r\n" .
    'Reply-To: [email protected]' . "\r\n" .
    'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

// if mail sent then do this...

mail() returns a boolean. However, it does only ensure it was sent, not recieved.

Thankyou

 

so... 

if (mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers))
{do this};

and how in-depth would it be to test for returned messages ie. undeliverable?

Very.
