Sorry for not being clear ...can you run shell commands from PHP -- that would allow you to execute Ken's diagnostics suggestion below:-
mail -vvv -s "test mail" to_address_goes_here < /dev/null
I do not know of what you speak. I only have a hoster - no php on my laptop. Hmm I am confused here - I was under the impression that sending mails from your shared host was failing silently... if that is true then Ken suggested you execute a manual mail command with verbosity switched to maximum to see if any errors occur when the message is sent to the MTA (eg sendmail/exim/postfix) on the server.. Ken stated that you would need shell access to do that and you then replied to say that you did not have any shell access so I then suggested running a shell command from a PHP script to execute his diagnostics test - that was all... I didn't mention your laptop so I am unclear why you think that is involved...??
sorry for the misunderstanding...
