For the first time I have used the mail() function in a script and since then we have been having problems with our mail server. Everyone has been having trouble sending emails.
Do you think mail() could be causing this?
I will give more information about the problem as I have it.

Whats your mail server?
Does your mail server require auth to send emails and does this happen using php's mail function? Have you trawled your mail logs for a glimpse of something amis?
Is there any reference to bad auth in them
cat maillog | grep auth
If you dont auth for sending how secure is your mail sending. Does it only send on new users been created or can it be accessed and used to send mailicious emails too?
