I really need some help.
Minor Details:
I have about 25 websites. Most of them hosted on GoDaddy. Most of them using the FormToEmail.php script for sending forms.
Whenever I set up a new form or make a change, I send a test through the form to make sure it functions correctly. I noticed that my forms were not coming through the majority of the times I was sending the tests for a particular site. I finally narrowed down the fact that the form would not submit whenever I used test@test.com in the email field for the test submission.
I sent several tests using crap emails like rg34t34g@fg5g3.com 1234@rgwer.com, etc. They ALL cam through fine.
I send another one using test@test.com. Nothing comes through.
GoDaddy swears it has nothing to do with them, even though it ONLY happens on sites hosted on their servers (or their 3rd party servers).
My concern is that there may be some other email domains that act like the test@test.com and do not come through.
Anyone have any idea what might be going on?
Thanks,
Kevin Webb

Is test@test.com the destination address? Where in the mail() function are you putting this address? It sounds to me like your form is rejecting it for some reason. If you post your code we might have something intelligent to say about it. The mail() function itself will send anything, it might bounce, but you can just about put anything in there.
Re: FormToEmail Twilight Zone Testing Error
I would avoid using GoDaddy's script, it's not very useful, and there's very little way to troubleshoot it. Just use the basic mail() function, and let us know if you continue to get errors.
Re: FormToEmail Twilight Zone Testing Error
I'm not using GoDaddy's script. I'm using a very popular FormToEmail.php script that is open source (can be found on the web). I will get it posted in here for all to see. Thanks for the input so far.

Re: FormToEmail Twilight Zone Testing Error
It took me so long to format this into something readable, I don't have time to look at your problem.
Which $_request field are you putting test@test.com into? Actually can you either echo out the data that DOES NOT work or tell us what all the fields are set to?
Here's your code, formated and with the proper [ code=php ] tags
