Like most functions in PHP, mail() returns a value - boolean according to
the manual. So you could do something like
$mail = mail(values);
if ($mail){
do this
}
else {
error
}
But as has been pointed out above, a return of TRUE only means that
mail() has handed the data off to something else, which something else
may or may not succeed in sending the message.
