Typically this is due to email hitting the spam filter on the mailbox.
If you are running from your home IP address then there won't be much
you can do to stop this as most ISPs block home IP addresses from
sending mail. Have a look in the mail logs if you can, that may give
you a clue. You can improve the chances of the mail getting through by
doing:

$headers = 'From: Administrator <administration@testsite.com>' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: administration@testsite.com' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

mail('webmaster@testsite.com', 'Activation',$details, $headers,
'-fadministrator@testsite.com');

Note: The -f flag assumes the server isn't running Windows, if it is
remove that parameter from the command.
