your code seems fine...
if(mail($to, "Comment from your website", $message, "from: $email") {
header("location: index.html"); // This will redirect your visitor when the email has been sent
} else {
echo("Message was not sent");
}

just a bone, the opening tag, you have <? instead of <?php. I know this works on some configurations, but for maximum compatibility used <?php
Otherwise, like that other dude said it seems just fine. Also, for this code to work you need to have an smtp server configured on the host machine. If possible, have the smtp server output screen open while you run the script and see what it says. Good luck.

Your host isn't GoDaddy is it? The reason I ask is because a recent client of mine hosts with them and I couldn't figure out what was wrong with the mail script. After a little research I found that they have the mail() function as well as many others disabled on their servers.

godaddy? The firm I work for uses them and the mail function works. I think something is wrong internally with the script, because with that if/else clause it's bound to output something, and it doesn't. Maybe it never gets that far.
To the OP, put echos after every line to see where it stops executing, if that's the problem.

I'm sure that your firm doesn't use the $3.99/month small business plan though. Here is a list of disabled functions straight from the phpinfo page: getmyinode, getopt, getrusage, extension_loaded, dl, mysql_pconnect, crack_check, crack_closedict, crack_getlastmessage, crack_opendict, fsockopen, pfsockopen, mysql_list_dbs, mysql_stat, ini_get, ini_get_all, ini_alter, ini_set, get_current_user, get_defined_constants, get_include_path, php_ini_scanned_files, php_uname, phpcredits, restore_include_path, set_include_path, set_time_limit, version_compare, zend_version, getmypid, getmyuid, getmygid, assert_options, assert, fopen, fwrite, fread, file, fpassthru, file, mail, opendir, readdir, closedir

I'd assume that a big host such as godaddy wouldn't disable the mail function. Mail is an important function in PHP

Alright.. There are few mistakes in your mail script. \n should be put in "". Well, Here is the corrected code.
<?php //mail.php
function checkOK($field)
{
if (eregi("\r",$field) || eregi("\n",$field)){
die("Invalid Input!");
}
}
$name=$_POST['name'];
checkOK($name);
$email=$_POST['email'];
checkOK($email);
$comments=$_POST['comments'];
checkOK($comments);
$to="existing.user@gmail.com";
$message=$name."just filled in your comments form. They said: \n". $comments ."\n\nTheir e-mail address was:".$email;
if(mail($to,"Comments From Your Site",$message,"From: $email.\n")) {
echo "Thanks for your comments.";
} else {
echo "There was a problem sending the mail. Please check that you filled in the form correctly.";
}
?>Hope it helps..
