Are you using a local server. Some ISP's block port 25 to help prevent spam

how do you know the email is not sent? gmail is notorious for blocking incoming emails without proper headers. i suggest that you use a different email address for testing.

Your To: address is a gmail address and you are putting a gmail address into the From: address header. If you are not sending this using a gmail mail server, I can guarantee that gmail will discard the email.

 

The From: address must be an address hosted at the sending mail server where your php script is running at.
