This doesn’t work:

$to = 'myemail@gmail.com';
$from = 'test@test.com';
$subj = 'test';
$message = 'hello';

$headers =  "From: {$from}\r\n" .
            "Reply-To: {$from}\r\n";
            "X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion();

$response['success'] = mail($to, $subj, $message, $headers);

This does:

$to = 'myemail@gmail.com';
$from = 'bill@gates.com';
$subj = 'test';
$message = 'hello';

$headers =  "From: {$from}\r\n" .
            "Reply-To: {$from}\r\n";
            "X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion();

$response['success'] = mail($to, $subj, $message, $headers);

The mail function doesn’t seem to work with test@test.com, is there a reason for this ?

Thank you

    Probably because test.com has an SPF record which indicates that it doesn’t send email:

    test.com.       7200    IN  TXT "v=spf1 ~all"

    This would likely lead GMail to reject (or flag as spam) any mail claiming to be from test.com.

    Alternatively, GMail may have an explicit block on test@test.com. 🙂
