I couldn’t get the contact form to work either. I ditched it in favour of eform, which is much more flexible and worked straight away for me. The advantage of using eform is that you can easily customize the contact form.

I was beating my head against the wall over problems with some email forms on my site, and I found out that my hosting company was not allowing the php mail() function to send mail to any address outside of the server itself (I could have mail sent to
[email protected], but not anyone else). I will be changing hosting companies later this summer.

I think the point of that dropdown is to determine who/which department gets the email - I don’t think we’re meant to have them all go to the same email account.
It is true that users will expect the recipient to know which one was selected, so it is worth changing the form code to pass this through. Or possibly using names in the email to address, like "Sales Department<
[email protected]>", "Faults Department<
[email protected]>" would work.
It may be easier to just switch to the
eForm snippet.
