any particular web hosting may have restrictions on how to send email through their mail server (and may not even supply a sending mail server, your friend that can send emails may be sending them through some other mail server.) what is your free web host's name and have you checked their FAQ section on sending emails?

 

common problems would be a mail server that's set up to require smtp authentication or problems with the From: address (or lack of) being used in the email headers.

if your free web host doesn't provide sending/outgoing email, then the person you know that is able to send/receive contact form emails is likely sending the email through or just to some other mail server, such as a gmail account.

 

if your web host hasn't blocked communications on port 25, you can, using a script like phpmailer, send emails to your own personal email account, hosted somewhere else. to do this, you must use smtp authentication (supplying your email account's email address and password) with the phpmailer script. there are examples at the phpmailer site.
