PHP 8.3 on a Linux server?

Yep, that's correct.

This worked - switching from the PHP mailer to the SMTP option and entering the settings requested that I got from my host provider. I now receive the email, as does the sender, and a copy is on the website in the admin backend. Before this, only the copy in the admin backend was received.

Seanie.

This is because PHPmailer is marked as spam by the mail providers long time ago. It may be received but in Spam folder by some mail providers, but usually it is never received.

This is absolute nonsense. I use PHPMail on many websites on many different hosting platforms and they all work fine.

sorry, but its not nonsens.
at first, we've to ask: did we talk about the basic php-function mail(), that use the sendmail()-function from the server?
next step: do you use the shortest way like this -> mail('example@example.com', 'MySubject', $myMessage); or the extended function with additional header-informations with From..., Reply-toAdress, X-Mailer...
a lot of mailservers detect a send-mail as spam, if there are missing the FROM && Replay-Adress, other servers blocked the port 25 complete and so it is possible, that you can send a phpmail to me with success, but my mailserver detect it as spam
for example: i'm using the german provider Strato for any of my webprojects. With the new GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) the provider stops the simple php-mail and blocked the port 25, now, a couple of years later, i can use it again, if i use the additional headers.
at 1&1 (IONOS), another german provider, i can use only SMTP-Mail, but it looks, that it works only for the simple webspace-account and not for a webserver.
