Presumably there's a call to mail() as well ;-)

How much access to mailserver logs on both sides do you have? First place I'd
look is /var/log/maillog (or equivalent) at least on the sending system to make
sure it's going out, and then on the receiving end to see if it arrived but was
subsequently zapped by spam filters.
