I don't see any way for you to know if there are any errors.

Try this as a very basic start:

$headers = "From: aj...@alumni.iu.edu";
$to = "aj...@alumni.iu.edu ";
$subject = "Comments Regarding My Studio";
$body = "From: $your_name\n E-Mail: $email\n Reason Contact: $question\n Comments:\n 
$comments";
$success=mail($to, $subject, $body,$headers);

if ($success) {
   echo "Mail was sent successfully!";
} else {
   echo "Sending of mail failed!";
}



This is what I have in my PHP.ini:

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = smtp.live.com
smtp_port = 587

; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = aj...@alumni.iu.edu

; For Unix only.  You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i").
;sendmail_path =

; Force the addition of the specified parameters to be passed as extra 
parameters
; to the sendmail binary. These parameters will always replace the value of
; the 5th parameter to mail(), even in safe mode.
;mail.force_extra_parameters =

Yet, I don't see any mail in my aj...@alumni.iu.edu Mailbox, can

Thanks for your help.

Thanks to the worldwide brotherhood of crooks known as spammers,
sending e-mail these days isn't nearly as easy as PHP makes it look.
You might wanna look into an "errors-to" header to help debug any
problems with sender authorization, bad ports, etc.

HTH,
