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?

$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?

Like I mentioned in the first post, it's possible that your host has a block on mail() without a registered email to the hosted domain. Eg. I have a few accounts on Streamline.net and this is their policy:

Streamlinenet filters all outgoing e-mail. These must have a 'From' or 'To' address that is a domain hosted with Streamlinenet. Any e-mail not fulfilling these criteria is stopped.
If you are sending e-mail to a customer who has given you their e-mail address, you need to use the domain name of their site (but it does not need to be a valid mailbox, for example noreply@their-domain.co.uk is a fairly common one to use). If you want the customer to reply to the e-mail you must use a valid account.
Streamlinenet's SMTP Filter System limits the outgoing mail from a domain to prevent bulk e-mailing. The limits are set to allow normal form based e-mail activity to pass unhindered, but stop any persistent attempt to send bulk mail.

Check with your host if they have a similar policy.

I have put this mail function in many website. But i am not getting where the problem is coming.

But it seeming this problem can be from server or hosting side. If yes, Please suggest me . What Problem can be from server or our hosting site. So I can tell them that where is the problem.
