PhP Form, Nothing being received No error message

Hi guys, so I have followed everything that Randy said on the video but nothing is coming from the form after it sends, I get the "Message Sent" but nothing comes to the receiving email The mailer does not seem to work. Maybe it is a case of time but that seem unlikely since some 10 mins have past!

I am using Go Daddy To test out the mailer and the Go Daddy Email that comes with it. I have two files that was needed with the mails,

class.phpmailer.php and PHPMAILERAUTOLOAD.php (There is an error without the AutoLoad file)

This is the ENTIRE code from the process.php file

<?php 

$name = trim($_POST ["name"]);
$email = trim($_POST ["email"]);
$message = trim($_POST ["message"]);

if ($name == "" OR $email == "" ) {
    echo "Opps! Did you leave out your name and or email?";
    exit;
}

foreach( $_POST as $value ){
    if ( stripos($value, "Content-Type:") !== FALSE) {
        echo "There was a problem with the information.";
        exit;
    }
}

if($_POST["address"] != "") {
    echo "Your form submission has an Error.";
    exit;
}

require_once("class.phpmailer.php");
$mail = new PHPMailer();

if (!$mail->ValidateAddress($email)) {
       echo "You must specify a valid email address";
    exit;
}

    $email_body = "";
    $email_body = $name_body . "Name: " . $name . "<br>";
    $email_body = $email_body . "Email: " . $email . "<br>";
    $email_body = $message_body . "Message: " . $message;


    $mail->SetFrom($email, $name); 
    $address = "MyEmail@Mail.com";
    $mail->AddAddress($address, "Another Titiel");

    $mail->Subject = "SUBJECT " . $name;

    $mail->MsgHTML($email_body);


    if(!$mail->Send()) {
        echo "There was a prolem sending the email: " . $mail->ErrorInfor;
        exit; 
    } else {
        echo "Message Sent!";
    }


?>

I have tested this with gmail also to make sure that the falut is not with Go Daddy's email server.

There must be something I am missing somewhere.

Should I follow the blog post that Randy did to fix the issue? But since I am getting no error message I thought that there must be another issue. I do get "Message Sent"

Thanks guys!

Just to let you guys know, I have found the source of the issue but not yet fixed. The issue was with Go Daddy. They seem to block the email in favor of anti-spam. I have found some help from Go Daddy to fix the issue!
