Hello
I don`t see any reason fo it to fail 9 times out of 10.
The only suspicious line is this
mail( , , , "From: $emailrn");
I would normaly expect to see a "rn" after headers.
Also no valoidation! Dangerious!
Look in your error log, you can also alter php.ini so that you see warnings and not just errors.
Here is a working script that I wrote - perhaps it helps? It is long but that is nessesary to keep out abusers.
