mail() function has a very long track record for being buggy, especially
under Windows were the PHP SMTP client code in used by mail() has to be
used.

I lot of people has overcame their mail problems using this SMTP client
class that I recommend. If you still have delivery problems, you can
still enable debug mode and see what the SMTP dialog shows.

This class is better used in conjunction with this for composing and
sending MIME formatted messages:
