Answer 1

The use of mail() function is so insecure and is a vector attack to send massive spam, don't use anymore, for this reason is better to use PHP Mailer libray.
Create a EMAIL account (example: no-reply#domain.com) in your hosting and after that install this library PHP Mailer, now you can do this:
<?php
require 'PHPMailerAutoload.php';
$mail = new PHPMailer;
//$mail->SMTPDebug = 3; // Enable verbose debug output
$mail->isSMTP(); // Set mailer to use SMTP
$mail->Host = 'smtp1.example.com;smtp2.example.com'; // Specify main and backup SMTP servers
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // Enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = 'user#example.com'; // SMTP username
$mail->Password = 'secret'; // SMTP password
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls'; // Enable TLS encryption, `ssl` also accepted
$mail->Port = 587; // TCP port to connect to
$mail->setFrom('from#example.com', 'Mailer');
$mail->addAddress('joe#example.net', 'Joe User'); // Add a recipient
$mail->addAddress('ellen#example.com'); // Name is optional
$mail->addReplyTo('info#example.com', 'Information');
$mail->addCC('cc#example.com');
$mail->addBCC('bcc#example.com');
$mail->addAttachment('/var/tmp/file.tar.gz'); // Add attachments
$mail->addAttachment('/tmp/image.jpg', 'new.jpg'); // Optional name
$mail->isHTML(true); // Set email format to HTML
$mail->Subject = 'Here is the subject';
$mail->Body = 'This is the HTML message body <b>in bold!</b>';
$mail->AltBody = 'This is the body in plain text for non-HTML mail clients';
if(!$mail->send()) {
echo 'Message could not be sent.';
echo 'Mailer Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
echo 'Message has been sent';
}

UPDATE
After some research I've found that:
You need to ask godaddy technical support to enable "sendmail".
PHP mail() not working on GoDaddy
----------
I've tested your code and it works. I've received the email with ALL the $_POST contents without any problems.
$pos = $_POST;
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$from = $_POST['email'];
$to = 'email#gmail.com ';
$subject = 'contact message ';
NOTE:
1 - $pos = $_POST; is an array and it will be displayed as Array.
2 - Emails sent via mail() will most likely end-up on the spam folder (read the comments below).
