Well, an another script that previously worked suddenly stopped working I
doubt it.

I'd suggest the following:
Make a small script with a hardcoded mail() statement, which sends the mail
to an emailadress without spam filtering. If this doesn't work, yet mail()
returns true, contact your hoster. If it does, then try with
spam-filtering. If that also works, it's the variables in the script that
are the problem. Try to var_dump them instead of mail()ing , to check what
value they hold.
