The behavior I see suggests that the process is failing in the PHP 
script.  (If you want to send me a copy off-list I'll give it a once 
over.)  But before looking at the script itself, have you confirmed 
with whomever administers the server on which the script lives that 
everything that needs to be in place is in place?  For example, is 
curl enabled, does the server allow unauthenticated sending of email 
via a script, etc.?
