Can't send email via codeinginter using cpanel email account - codeigniter

Question

I have problem when sending email from my server to somebody account
i mean that i need to send email from
myemail#mydomain.com to any another account Whether Live, hotmail or gmail etc.
of course that from PHP script
I have been created email account from my CPanel, and i tried to send email by this code.
$config['protocol'] = 'smtp';
$config['smtp_host'] = "mail.mydomain.com";
$config['smtp_user'] = "myemail#mydomain.com";
$config['smtp_pass'] = "password";
$config['smtp_port'] = "25";
$this->load->library('email',$config);
$this->email->from("myemail#mydomain.com", 'test');
$this->email->to("actualemail#live.com"); // the user email
$this->email->subject("hello");
$this->email->message("test test test");
if (!$this->email->send()) {
echo "error";
//$this->email->print_debugger();
exit;
}
//$this->email->print_debugger();
//exit;
echo "success";
Note that i'm using codeigniter framework.
The strange is there is no any problem in sending email , i get success message, but when i go to my receive email account i not found
any email. what to do, I'm boring form a lot of attempts :( .

Answer 1

try this:
$to = 'you#gmail.com';
$subject = 'my subject';
$msg = 'Hi..........';
$headers = "From: info#domain.com\r\nReply-To: info#domain.com";
$mail_sent = #mail( $to, $subject, $msg, $headers );
echo $mail_sent ? "Mail sent" : "Mail failed";
It directly takes details from your server & sends mail.
This works fine on my site.
