If you're on a linux/unix machine, don't even look at phpinfo about mail
stuff. The mail() function always goes to the sendmail binary.
Do you have a shell account? Can you perform this command?
# echo "Test" | sendmail your@email.com
And do you receive it? Does 'which sendmail' return you the path to where
the sendmail binary is?
You should be contacting the admin of this server and be asking these
questions. We can't answer them since we don't own/have access to the
machine.
