I am trying to send email using php. The mail is returning true. But I am receiving the email. So I am guessing that maybe there is some problem with the server. Is there any tutorial explaining how to configure the server to properly send email using cPanel?

My code is given below.

<?php

    $msg = "First line of text\nSecond line of text";
    $msg = wordwrap($msg,70);
    $headers = "From: [email protected]";
    mail("[email protected]", "My subject", $msg, $headers);
