[SOLVED] sendmail disaster

[kiss-o-matic]

I'll make this quick.

I have a godaddy virtual dedicated server.  I was literally told they weren't allowed to help me trouble shoot this problem (although they gave me some hints) WTF?

Anyway, I'm using the following PHP code snippte:

 

        if ( mail( $to, $subject, $body, $headers ) ) {
                $msg = 'Succesfully sent mail.  Thank you.<br>';
                return true;
        } else {
                $msg = 'Mail Delivery failed.<br>Please contact administration in the forum.';
                return false;
        }

 

I get no errors... but also no mail.

 

The tech said (through another tech after 30 minutes) I need to "white list" an IP.  I assume this is a sendmail setting.

Next problem?  There's no sendmail config file. :/

 

Anybody have any experience w/ this?

so, perhaps this is a good place to tell us what exactly the problem is..  is it not sending, is your host refusing to let it run, are you not getting any output, are you getting error outputs?

Sorry, I hit post before I was done and went back.  Edited now.

 

EDIT:

Worth noting: the exact code works fine on a dedicated server

I've decided to go w/ phpmailer().  I guess I'll mark this as solved.
