I installed the Rules module, and created a new rule as follows:

ON event After saving new content
IF Created content is promoted to frontpage
AND Created content is News story [this is one of our node types]
AND Created content is published
AND Textual comparison [language = English]
Here is what it should do:
Send a mail to an arbitrary mail address - And I've put in my email address (actually two addresses separated by a comma)

That's it - but even though my colleagues are posting news stories, publishing them, and putting them on the front page, and they are in English, no email is being sent.

Can anyone explain why? What am I doing wrong?

Thanks very much!

Do you have any info in your logs about emails?

(a module like this might help http://drupal.org/project/maillog)

Check your server configuration and make sure that email in general is working...

Also great tutorial about doing exactly this at: http://dev.nodeone.se/en/combining-conditions
(you might want to start at the beginning of the series but this one discusses emails and messages...)
