[Pro] Can't get form to work

Form is at
http://www.2themancave.com/mancavesocietya.html

I used php feedback form action.
Gives me a success page but email doesn’t show up.
My email comes from my domain.

Does this action write the php to the html page?

Losing my mind.

Your html page below sends the form information to a page called :
mancavesocietya-go.php
Your mail will be sent from the php code in that page

I can’t speak about the PHP action because I just code my own PHP

To test if you can send php email from your server, you can get my
test php email page from:

http://allmytrash.com//testemail.zip

Unzip it and get a php file named testemail.php.
Edit this php file in bbedit or other text editor to set your email
address.
You will see where it goes.

Use an FTP client to put the edited php file on your server

Then from a browser enter http://YOUR SERVER NAME /testemail.php

You should get a success page returned and an email to your email
account

You’re not the first person I’ve seen with this problem using GoDaddy.
Check to make sure that there is an MX record for your domain and that
it properly points back to your server at GoDaddy; and further that
you have a reverse DNS record for your server that points somewhere
meaningful. Both of these tests are commonly performed by mail servers
to see if the message is spam or not. If the server (IP address)
sending the mail does not map back to the same domain as the sender
address on the message, you will probably get dumped in the spam trap
somewhere between your server and your Mac.

I would file a support ticket with GoDaddy, and ask them what it takes
from your end to send mail through PHP from your shared server. They
may know some incantation that’s required. They do host an awful lot
of sites, some of them blogs and the like, which usually need to be
able to send password reminders and other mail-type things.
