Answer 1

I highly recommend you to stop using mail() function. It likes to cause various problems. In my opinion the better way to send emails is to use PHPMailer library. It provides full SMTP support and some more cool features.

Even with an any error it will be easier to fix your problem when you use tool with big community instead old, rare used function.
