Could it be possible that php or mail() is truly buggy and tempermental?
I never liked the build in mail() since external SMTP servers had to be configured in php.ini. I ended up writing a replacement class that will talk to "any" external SMTP server directly using sockets. I have used this on numerous hosting accounts and for me "it just works", even on Windows (XAMPP).
I know this is not an answer to your question but your method sounds very complicated and my script may make things easier :)
