Answer 1

Try this:

$result = $s->call('Vehicle_Policy_Push', $params, '', '', false, true);

if($result){

    $reply = $_POST['Email'];

    $replysubject = "Auto-Reply: support | kblinsurance.com";
    $replyfrom = "From: noreply@kblinsurance.com\r\n";
    $replymessagess .= "You Are Getting This Email.\r\n\r\n";
    $replymessagess .= "Because You Just Purchased A Third Party                   Insurance.\r\n\r\n";


    $replymessagess .= $_POST["Insured_Name"];
    $replymessagess .= "\r\n";

    $replymessagess .= "\r\n";
    $replymessagess .= "Telephone Number :\r\n";
    $replymessagess .= $_POST["Telephone"];
    $replymessagess .= "\r\n";
    $replymessagess .= "\r\n";
    $replymessagess .= "With Registeration Number :\r\n";
    $replymessagess .= $_POST["Registeration_Number"];
    $replymessagess .= "\r\n\r\n";

    $replymessagess .= "http://www.kblinsurance.com\r\n\r\n";
    $replymessagess .= "This e-mail is automated, so please do not reply.\r\n";
    $replymessagess .= "Regards.\r\n";
    mail($reply,$replysubject, $replymessagess, $replyfrom);
}

Just a guess would need more info.

Answer 2

if (mail($reply,$replysubject, $replymessagess, $replyfrom)) {
    // Your alert here: e.g:
    echo "Successfully sent";
} 

This basically means if the mail function returns true then carry out the alert. You can also check if it wasn't successful:

if (!mail($reply,$replysubject, $replymessagess, $replyfrom)) {
    // Was not successful
    echo "Not successfully sent";
} // Note the !

Or for both successful and unsuccessful:

if (mail($reply,$replysubject, $replymessagess, $replyfrom)) {
    // Your alert here
    echo "Successfully sent";
} else {
    // Your unsucessful alert
    echo "Not successfully sent";
}

Returns TRUE if the mail was successfully accepted for delivery, FALSE otherwise.
