Hi,
I am using Drupal 7 on my imac 10,6.7 and I am using an local environment ( I actually have 2) MAMP and acquia-drupal stack (DEV) Anyhow when trying to use a contact form just to test it will say that my message has been sent but nothing seems to happen. I have tried using Drupa 6.19 also. My Drupal use is on and off but it seem that with a relier version or 2 before I have received emails of some type before. But I even tried it on my older emac today with earlier versions (i did not go back to 5) So I am just wondering if this is normal for a local set up or if I am doing something wrong. I am pretty sure I have it right in structure-contact form.
Any help would be great
Don

I am pretty sure this has
I am pretty sure this has something to do with your local setup. Your local setup has no access to an email server (the PHP needs to actually interact with an email server to send an email) so the email is getting caught up and not going anywhere.
It is possible this is a different issue but based on what you said it wouldn't surprise me if this is what is going on.

I was hoping that somebody with a similar computer and local environment might say if this is usual or not with a local environment and getting emails. It seems that someone could tell me if this is normal or not. And if so what might I do to to fix this problem. After 2 days I am begging to think that no one has read this post. I thank you for your response.

You did see my reply right?
You did see my reply right? If you actually want to test this script you will have to do it off of your local server -- or setup a mail server on your local server. Otherwise you are not going to be able to do anything.
