I've had the same problem on server 17. The mail service goes in and out. To work around this I try to use the client's mail service if mail() is down.

Code:

$em_status = confirm_email($user_email, "Sign Up Verification", $confirm_text, $confirm_link);

if(!$em_status) { 
	$confirm_link = "http://greenfloyd.site90.com/_roller.private.php?action=3&confirm_key=" . $confirmKey;
	$confirm_link = rawurlencode($confirm_link);
	$message = "Sign Up Verification: If this is your submission to the greenfloyd Roller~Poster, please click this VERIFY link: $confirm_link";
echo $confirm_link . "<br>";
echo "<p>For some reason internal Email failed.  Please try this \"Plan B\" link instead, it will send an unformatted email to you through your mail service.  Then, from your inbox, click the \"VERIFY\" link in the message  to complete the verification process.<br> Thank you.<hr><a href = 'mailto:".$user_email."?subject=Roller~Poster_Sign_Up&body=".$message."'>plan B</a><hr><a href = 'http://greenfloyd.site90.com/_roller.readerX.php'>[Return]</a><hr>";
} else {
	echo "<p>To activate your new account a confirmation email has been sent to you.  Please click the link in that email to complete the verification process.  Further instructions will be displayed on the confirmation page... enjoy the ride.<hr><a href = 'http://greenfloyd.site90.com/_roller.readerX.php'>[Return]</a><hr>";
			}

I hope so...

Basically I'm creating a simple "mailto" link that will call the client's mail service, like Outlook Express for example. This alloww the user to send the email through their own system. Of course this depends on the user having a "mail client" active in their browser. You can do the same thing with simple HTML. The important part is this:

Code:

<a href = 'mailto:".$user_email."?subject=Roller~Poster_Verification&body=".$message."'>
plan B
</a>

Code:

........................................................
$em_status = confirm_email($user_email, "Sign Up Verification", $confirm_text, $confirm_link);
......................................................

$em_status returns the result of mail(...), if it's false the function failed.

Get $mailResult from the mail() function like so:

$mailResult = mail($em, $sub, $message, $headers);
return $mailResult;

$mailResult is copied to $em_status, in this case, by calling a function which contains the mail() function:

$em_status = confirm_email($em, $sub, $txt, $link);

So test for a false return. If it is false then format the message content ($message) for your needs and then present the link to the user. When the link is clicked, if there is an active mail agent in the browser, a filled in email form should appear and then all the user needs to do is click their "send" button. Bear in mind you can only send plain text using this option and any urls (if you are sending links) need to be encoded (rawurlencode).

Code:

if(!$em_status) { 
	$confirm_link = "http://greenfloyd.site90.com/_roller.private.php?action=3&confirm_key=" . $confirmKey;
	$confirm_link = rawurlencode($confirm_link);
	$message = "Sign Up Verification: If this is your submission to the greenfloyd Roller~Poster, please click this VERIFY link: $confirm_link";
echo $confirm_link . "<br>";
echo "<p>For some reason internal Email failed.  Please try this \"Plan B\" link instead, it will send an unformatted email to you through your mail service.  Then, from your inbox, click the \"VERIFY\" link in the message  to complete the verification process.<br> Thank you.<hr><a href = 'mailto:".$user_email."?subject=Roller~Poster_Sign_Up&body=".$message."'>plan B</a><hr><a href = 'http://greenfloyd.site90.com/_roller.readerX.php'>[Return]</a><hr>";
} else {
	echo "<p>To activate your new account a confirmation email has been sent to you.  Please click the link in that email to complete the verification process.  Further instructions will be displayed on the confirmation page... enjoy the ride.<hr><a href = 'http://greenfloyd.site90.com/_roller.readerX.php'>[Return]</a><hr>";
			}

Hope that helps.
