$mail->Subject = "Feedback form results";
$mail->Body="

Try setting Gmail as your SMTP
<?php if($_POST){
$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
$comments = $_REQUEST['comments'] ;
$phone = $_POST['telephone'] ;
$name = $_REQUEST['name'] ;
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->IsSMTP(); // send via SMTP
$mail->Host = "ssl://smtp.gmail.com:465"; // SMTP servers
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // turn on SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = "scorpion.schizo#gmail.com"; // SMTP username
$mail->Password = "password"; // SMTP password
$mail->Host = "localhost";
$mail->From = "scorpion.schizo#gmail.com";
$mail->FromName = "Showket";
$mail->AddAddress("manusurya9139#gmail.com");
$mail->Subject = "Feedback form results";
$mail->Body="
Name: $name
Email: $email
Telephone: $telephone
Comments: $comments";
$mail->WordWrap = 50;
if(!$mail->Send())
{
echo 'Message was not sent.';
echo 'Mailer error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
}
else
{
echo 'Thank you for your feedback.';
}
}
?>

Run "sendmail -bp" to check if there is anything in the queue. Also, check the email folder for the user that your webserver is running under to see if you have had any undeliverable notifications.
