Introduction
In some cases, you might want to verify that mail() works on your server.
Procedure
To confirm that PHP Mail() works, you could create a PHP file with the following contents, making sure to replace the destination email address names as necessary.
<?php
$dest = "destination@domain.tld";
$fromaddy = "cpaneluser@domain.tld";
mail("<$dest>","Test from php mail","Test","From:<$fromaddy>","-f$fromaddy");
?>
From there, open the file in a web browser top send the message.
