Emails Not Arriving From Contact Form

I have a simple contact form that works fine on one website but when I use the same form and .php file on a seperate site the email seems to have been sent but it never arrives. I assume everything has gone ok because the "thankyou.html page comes up after send but whether the email has been sent I can't tell..

I've checked the email and it is working normally outside of the contact form. PHP is also enabled on the domain with the hosting company.

The code is shown below..

The Contact Form. "contactus.html"
 
<form action="feedback.php" method="post">
<table border="0" cellpadding="8" cellspacing="8" summary="feedback form">
<tr><td><label for="tswname">Name</label>
:</td><td><input type="text" maxlength="40" name="name" id="tswname" size="25" /></td></tr>
<tr><td><label for="tswemail">Email address</label>:</td><td><input type="text" maxlength="50" id="tswemail" name="email" size="25" /></td></tr>
  <td valign="top">How you found us:</td>

first test to see if mail is working on this server with a test.php and

mail("me@mydomain.com", "test message", "Hello world");

this will tell us if the issue is with mail on that server or to look into your code.
