The first thing you are missing is some sanitising of the email address.
You need to strip out any newline characters. That isn't the problem,
just good practice.

Assuming you are replacing an@email.com with a valid email address you
could try

if(mail( "an@email.com", "subject line",
"$text", "From: $email" )){
header( "Location: http://www.mydomain.com/Contact/thanks.html" );
}
else{
echo "mail could not be sent";
}

This will check if mail is actually being received for posting.
