The mail() function doesn't work properly.  
Every so often it does send mail.
I tried putting the php.ini in the c:\php\php.ini instead of the c:\winnt\php.ini but that didn't help.
I've been at it a while and I've found no solutions on the web yet, while other people have encountered the same issue.
PHP.INI has a valid SMTP =  mail.pnang.com and sendmail_from = jberall@yahoo.com.

The code
mail("jberall@yahoo.com", "My Subject", "Line 1\nLine 2\nLine 3");
And the birthday one from the manual.
Again the frustrating part is it worked last night. My outlook works perfectly with the same SMTP.
Thanks,
Jonathan

I have the same problem using php 4.2, windows 2000 server iis5.
I resolve the problem using \r\n not \n for the break line.
Example:

mail("cleilton_ce@hotmail.com", "My Subject", "Line 1\nLine 2\nLine 3");

This code results in a server error

Correct code:

$email = mail("cleilton_ce@hotmail.com", "My Subject", "Line 1\r\nLine 2\r\nLine 3");

If ($email){
    echo "E-mail was sent!";
}

:-)
