Bug Type: Mail related
Operating System: windows2K
PHP Version: 4.2.2
New Comment:
It should return FALSE if the mailserver, for any reason, doesn't
accept the message. If the mailserver accepts the message but bounces
it, PHP can't do anything about it.
Is this the case?
(BTW: you probably want to try a non-STABLE snapshot from
snaps.php.net, there were many changes to the mail handling stuff on
Windows)

The mail() function is supposed to return FALSE if it can't send the
mail. But in reality it doesn't do so. It always returns TRUE.
