The mail function practically never fails under Linux because it just
handles the message to sendmail program or equivalent. This may be a
mail() function bug.
In any case, you may want to try this class that comes with a wrapper
function named sendmail_mail(). It works like mail() and takes the same
arguments but it calls sendmail program directly. If it also fails, it
may be a problem in your sendmail installation. Otherwise, it is a
problem in the mail() function.
