I do this exact thing when my students create accounts on my website.
Some, but not all, AOL users never get the e-mail.  I'm not quite sure
what causes this, whether it's me or AOL, but as far as I can tell,
AOL is the only domain where these messages don't get through.  The
script is at http://turing.matcmp.ncc.edu/~cmerlo/accounts/new.php, if
you want to look at the code.
