The mail function is extremely unreliable. You should consider using a SMTP server & a library like PHPMAILER to make integration easier.
phpmailer: https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer
The mail function will attempt to send but more times than not it will go into the users spam folder or the destination may reject it.
Also instead of that regex you can use filter_var('bob@example.com', FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)
