Where are sent email messages stored when sent using PHP's mail()?

When I use the PHP mail() function to send mail, are the sent messages stored somewhere? How can I tell if the mails were really sent? For example, on my GoDaddy server I exceeded the daily limit of mails that can be sent and I only found out by accident.
Thanks

As far as I know the emails are not stored. If you put a valid email in the from header, you'll receive a failure notification when emails didn't reach their destination (you can also add a Bcc header to achieve the same without having to adjust uyour from header)
Of course, mail() itself returns false if the sending fails..

Is there a way to configure PHP or sendmail or both to store the mails or a keep a record somehow?
What do you mean by "adding a BCC header"?
