The mail() entry in the manual does say that it returns a boolean for send success/failure, however
none of the
examples make any use of such feedback. Is there a way to work out if something has gone wrong with
a particular
mail out, what the actual failure was, eg SMTP server down, DNS lookup failed, slow connection
time-out, etc?
Indeed what will trigger a FALSE return?
Please advise,
