Contact form error on sending messages

Question

My contact form doesn't send messages.

There are no errors reported in validation so i get the "message sent", but message is not actually sent. So propably there is an error on configuring my mail settings

Here is my code:

HTML:

<div class="container">
    <div class="row">
        <div class="col-lg-12 text-center">
            <h2 class="section-heading middle_heading">Contact Us</h2>
            <div class="colored-line2"></div>
            <p class="populer_des"></p>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="row">
        <div class="col-lg-12">
            <form class="bg_field" name="sentMessage" action="./mail/validateform.php" method="post" id="contactForm" novalidate>
                <div class="row">
                    <div class="col-md-6">
                        <div class="form-group">
                            <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Your Name *" id="name" required data-validation-required-message="Please enter your name.">
                            <p class="help-block text-danger"></p>
                        </div>
                        <div class="form-group">
                            <input type="email" class="form-control" placeholder="Your Email *" id="email" required data-validation-required-message="Please enter your email address.">
                            <p class="help-block text-danger"></p>
                        </div>
                        <div class="form-group">
                            <input type="tel" class="form-control" placeholder="Your Phone *" id="phone" required data-validation-required-message="Please enter your phone number.">
                            <p class="help-block text-danger"></p>
                        </div>
                    </div>
                    <div class="col-md-6">
                        <div class="form-group">
                            <textarea class="form-control" placeholder="Your Message *" id="message" required data-validation-required-message="Please enter a message."></textarea>
                            <p class="help-block text-danger"></p>
                        </div>
                    </div>
                    <div class="clearfix"></div>
                    <div class="col-lg-12 text-center">
                        <div id="success"></div>
                        <button type="submit" class="btn btn-xl submit_message">Send Message</button>
                    </div>
                </div>
            </form>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

PHP:

if(empty($_POST['name'])        ||
    empty($_POST['email'])      ||
    empty($_POST['phone'])      ||
    empty($_POST['message'])    ||
    !filter_var($_POST['email'],FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL))
    {
        echo "No arguments Provided!";
        return false;
    }
    $name = $_POST['name'];
    $email_address = $_POST['email'];
    $phone = $_POST['phone'];
    $message = $_POST['message'];

    $to = 'mail.ornithas.gr'; 
    $email_subject = "Website Contact Form:  $name";
    $email_body = "You have received a new message from your website contact form.\n\n"."Here are the details:\n\nName: $name\n\nEmail:       $email_address\n\nPhone: $phone\n\nMessage:\n$message";
    $headers = "From:mail.ornithas.gr\n"; 
    $headers .= "Reply-To: $email_address"; 
    mail($to,$email_subject,$email_body,$headers);
    return true;

do you have a proper mail-server set up? (locally?) error-loging switched on? — Jeff, May 20 '16 at 11:52

Header should be separated by '\r\n' not '\n' so header variable should be

$headers = "From: masudcsep@gmail.com\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: $email_address";

Check if the URL that you entered is correct:
```
<form class="bg_field" name="sentMessage" action="./mail/validateform.php" method="post" id="contactForm" novalidate>
```
this: ./mail/validateform.php means that you have a folder mail in your current directory which further has a file called: validateform.php .
check the filename
check the code in the file.
