You might want to check your junk email folder. Things like this often get sorted in there if you don't code it exactly right.

It would also be helpful if you would post the code.

I cant even come close to calling myself an expert at this, but im pretty sure that its a php function that just basically sends email, either if its a mailing list, submitting a form by email etc.

Hey Tim here´s my code

<form action="mail.php" method="post">
Your Name: <input type="text" name="name">

E-mail: <input type="text" name = "email">


Comments

<textarea name="comments"></textarea>


<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

<?
$name=$_POST['name'];
$email=$_POST['email'];
$comments=$_POST['comments'];
$to="abovino5@hotmail.com";
$message="$name just filled in your comments form. They said:\n$comments\n\nTheir e-mail address was: $email";
if(mail($to,"Comments From Your Site",$message,"From: $email\n")) {
echo "Thanks for your comments.";
} else {
echo "There was a problem sending the mail. Please check that you filled in the form correctly.";
}
?>

hope can fix

I just copy and pasted that code to my site and tried it and it worked perfectly. I think I sent you a message or 2. :D

[diagonal]

I must be confused. This script sends every message to my email address , doesn´t?

If the code is wright, what can i do to fix my problem?
maybe i had wrong configuration... :(

[mahangee]

Well it sent the mail to my address okay after I changed it. :D I recommend doing what Tim said eg looking in Spam folder or turning off spamguard (or adding it too your whitelist).

Hey I tried with the same email adress of my hostmatrix acount.
It works !! :)
better later than never
