Are you supplying a return e-mail registered to that domain? If not, some hosts block the mail, e.g. if your domain is www.example.com and your return address is me@jackspit.net, then the host may block it. They try to discourage spammers and jackers.

Have you tried commenting out your original code and replacing it with a hard-coded version?

 Help with Code Tags 
 PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
$sendmail = mail('nobody@yoursite.com', 'hello', 'hello world this is a message', 'From: webmaster@example.com' . "\r\n" .
    'Reply-To: webmaster@mysite.com' . "\r\n" .
    'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion());
$sendmail = mail('nobody@yoursite.com', 'hello', 'hello world this is a message', 'From: webmaster@example.com' . "\r\n" .
    'Reply-To: webmaster@mysite.com' . "\r\n" .
    'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion());

does this work?
