A lot of email providers blacklist PHP mail from certain hosts. Try using SMTP email.
No!! my forum is on vps not by hosting provider
so i don't have limites
That doesn't matter. The datacenter could be on their blacklist.
SMTP isn't very hard to set up either Smile

Why can't you just use SMTP?
At very worst, set up a gmail account and use smtp.googlemail.com port 465 to send your email. I know it works - it's how I get around a totally locked-down datacenter (that I locked down, I'm not playing games on someone else's network).
it's not the black list probleme
this is my probleme

That says that there's a problem with the setup in php.ini, the From: header is missing (some servers throw an error on that) or the server was down. Since it worked, it's not the header. (MyBB works with PHP mail, so it's not the program.)

That's why I said to use Gmail - I've used it as an SMTP server for a long time and I've never had it not send an email, whether from my home, a laptop or netbook on the road or a website through PHP's mail() function. It just works.

Set your mail settings (in Settings) to SMTP mail and fill in the boxes (after you have an account). The only thing not evident is the Encryption. Leave it set to no encryption.
