I had a lot of issues with the mail() function on some old sites I built. I am no expert, but there were security issues as the mail was sent 'unsigned/sent anonymously' or something. I now use authenticated mail via PEAR::mail and have had no issues since. Excuse the terminology if wrong, but I hope it makes sense nonetheless.

I agree with dunc2die4; yet Yahoo, AOL and Hotmail often take long to display the emails in the end users' in-boxes. I've seen this problem many times with a multitude of applications. Also, make sure that the mails don't end up in a Bulk mail or Spam mail folder.

This will happen if you don't have SPF records for your domain name and you don't send any extra headers. For example, if you keep the X-Mailer header set to the PHP X-Mailer, you will often have your mail end up in a spam folder.

All in all I'd say for professional mailing, the mail() function is adequate but only when you know exactly what you're doing.

Um....huh? Rephrase please? If you are asking about Pear: Pear is a framework that PHP just loves. Here is the link to it.
