How to check if PHP mail() is enabled?

Question

Hi,

I need to install a PHP site on a Microsoft server. For some reason the host isn't allowing the site to send e-mails. The host has sent me a code sample... which didn't work.

Is there a way to check if the server allows sending of e-mails through the php mail() function?

At this stage it is all about finger pointing and I need some proof here to show the client that the host is at fault.

You can setup a condition like this whether or not the mail worked:

if (!mail(......)){
  // mail was not sent....
}

Or:

mail(......) or die('Could not send the email !!');
