[TYPO3-english] email form - how to make it work?

Hi Peder,

There could be several things going wrong, including your server not 
sending the mails. To test if the mails are really "coming out of 
TYPO3", I would advise you to set the following settings in 
LocalConfiguration.php (in the "MAIL" section):

	'MAIL' => array(
		...
		'transport' => 'mbox',
		'transport_mbox_file' => 'typo3temp/mail.txt',
		...
	),

This will write mails to a file rather than sending them out. So you 
should be able to submit your form and file "typo3temp/mail.txt" should 
contain the mails.

If the file is not created (or stays empty), it means the form is not 
working. If the file is filled with mails, it means the form is okay and 
you have a problem with your server.

HTH
