More Flash & Swish: 
you can also use this to change servers name which have name of "noname"
$message = $_POST;
$address = $_POST;
$from = "mail@xmail.com"; // From
$fromisim = "From Name"; // From name
$konu = "Subject";
$Header='MIME-Version: 1.0' . "n";
$Header.='Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8' . "n";
$Header.='Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit'."n";
$Header.='To: '.$address."n";
$Header.='From: '.$fromisim.'<'.$from.">n";
$Header.='Return-Path: ' .$address."n"; // the address when e mail cannot send
$Header.='X-Mailer: mail service v1,5'."n";
$Header.='X-Priority: 1'."n";
mail($address,$konu,$message,$Header);
?>
This is nice, clean and simple code but for some reason the only thing i get is "An error occurred and the message could not be sent." message.
Any ideas why it's not working?
My hosting allows php, so what's the problem?!?!
