How can I check mail that has been sent using PHP on Apache from a website?

PHP Code:



$test = mail ( 'jcomb_31@darkstar',  
                      'Test Message', 
                      'This is a test message'); 
 
if(!$test) { 
    echo 'Mail was not sent :('; 
} else { 
    echo 'Mail was sent :)'; 
}

Note from php.net :

Quote:

mail() Returns TRUE if the mail was successfully accepted for delivery, FALSE otherwise.

It is important to note that just because the mail was accepted for delivery, it does NOT mean the mail will actually reach the intended destination.

Note from php.net :

That's not what I want, I want to actually see if the message was returned or not. isn't there a mailbox that should show your outgoing messages?

sorry for the smileys

The mail boxes management is not the job of sendmail,
maybe look for an IMAP solution then.
