[thelist] PHP Mail() function

[Bob Meetin]

Hourly limits are commonly 100 - 500 messages per hour if imposed. Ask your hosting provider to check their fine print. if you have access check for php logged errors in a file called error_log, typically in webhome but maybe in the folder where your scripts live.  Maybe also check in /home/$account/mail/new for email logged messages. Make up a simple mail test in PHP, also try UNIX mail command if you have shell access.

mail your_email at your_domain -s "test" < some_test_file
