Let's test your PHP mail capability first, before we conclude it is Drupal. Ddjust the $to and $from accordingly, copy this to <drupal root>/sites/mail.php and ask for <a href="http://<www...>/sites/mail.php">http://<www...>/sites/mail.php</a>. If you see "Mail Sent", then that begins to exonerate your PHP mail configuration.<br></div><div><br></div><div><?php<br>$to = "demo@tryx.org";<br>$subject = "Test mail";<br>$message = "Hello! This is a simple email message.";<br>$from = "demo1@tryx.org";<br>$headers = "From:" . $from;<br>mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);<br>echo "Mail Sent.";<br>?><br><br></div><div><br></div><div>Chris.<br></div></div></body></html>
