Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

The correct delivery of the mail is the responsability of the MTA on your machine. The provided code works as it should over here, this is not a mail() issue.

Most likely your mail just ends up in a spam filter. mail() works fine when used properly -> not a bug here.
