Linux hosting doesn't allow direct mail sending through PHP mail() function. In order to send email through PHP mail() function, you need to be authenticate first by the SMTP server. Simplest way to do is to use the PHPMailer. Below is the sample  php code using PHPMailer.

<?php

  include("class.phpmailer.php");
  $mail = new PHPMailer();
  $mail-> IsSMTP();
  $mail->Host = "mail.yourdomain.com";
  $mail->SMTPAuth = true;
  $mail->Username = "youruseremail@yourdomain.com";
  $mail->Password = "yourpassword";
  $mail->From = "youremail@yourdomain.com";
  $mail->FromName = "YourName";
  $mail->AddAddress($To-EmailAddress);
  $mail->AddReplyTo("youremail@yourdomain.com", "YourName");
  $mail->IsHTML(true);
  $mail->Subject = "subject is here";
  $mail->Body = "full body message here";
  $mail->AltBody = "full body message same here";

   if(!$mail->Send())
    {
       $Confirm = "Error in sending!  Message hasn't been sent";
    }
  else
   {
      $Confirm = "Message has been sent";
    }
?>
