Since this is most likely related to your other question: Configure mail server to work with PHP, I'll put the answer here too:

You're using the PEAR Mail package. The send() method returns TRUE on success, or a PEAR_Error object otherwise, which will contain details of the failure. Most likely you'd want $PEAR_Error::message. Full details here: Configure mail server to work with PHP
