If it works with your domain's emails and not outside emails, you may need to set your From address to a domain email. — aynber, Jun 27 '17 at 13:37

I solved the problem by googling. I inserted fifth parameter of php mail() function with '-fsendermail@mysite.com'. Actually, I don't know why but it really save my day.
