Hmm, in the case of mail that should probably be:
if (mail(...)) {
//passed that off to the smtp server/mail binary OK: whether it drops
// it on the floor who knows
} else {
//not sent
}
A true return from mail() doesn't necessarily mean that the mail will
actually get anywhere; it just means that mail() has successfully passed
it on to whatever process is configured to handle mail.
