perhaps it's your from address is invalid on your mailserver.
or it could be php.ini

; For Win32 only.
;sendmail_from = me@example.com

; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default:
"sendmail -t -i").
;sendmail_path =

; Force the addition of the specified parameters to be passed as extra
parameters
; to the sendmail binary. These parameters will always replace the value of
; the 5th parameter to mail(), even in safe mode.
;mail.force_extra_parameters =

is set wrong.
