I'm using PHP mail (have used sendmail too) as instructed.
When I figure this out I will gladly continue to use this program.
Thanks everyone for your hard work.
Without reading any documentation, I was able to play with it for a few minutes and get a basic form soon after. The basics of what you need to know is if you plan to use it for multiple forms in different areas of the site, you might first make categories for the forms. From there, make one or more templates - the templates aren't merely layout elements, they're where you'll set up your input fields. After that, creating the form is merely choosing a title, assigning an email address, which template to use, and what text to display. You use the built-in tools to link your form to whatever menu you want, and you're good to go.
I would consider this one 100% perfect if there were more options for alignment (I notice that I have to make large input fields in order to eliminate large gaps between the question and the answer.) You can do some adjustments, however, out of the box, and folks like myself may be able to do more through CSS. If it had a multiple page option, that would be excellent, too, but as is, this component is a great option, that does not cause any headaches.
I thank the creators for making this available.
Two thumbs up.
The support You can take for granted, because of prompt reaction (ile {joomla}/administrator/components/com_mad4joomla/config.mad4joomla.php to 0755 (or in my case 777).
Here are my salutations to this supporting team.

Thank you for the review. We appreciate constructive criticism.
Neverthenless we don't agree to the term: 'otherwise overated'.
Don't forget that Mad4Joomla Mailforms is a spare time project. Shortly we will publish an additional commercial version with a lot of improvements and extra features. If this lacks also on features you may use the term 'otherwise overated'.
If you compare our project to other non commercial form extensions you will see the vantages of Mailforms.
The huge popularity of Mad4Joomla is based on stable performance and very simple and easy usage.
If we start extending the component with lots of extras there can be two results.
1. If we do this in our spare time, the component will be more complex to use and we will lose our unique feature of being very easy-to-use.
2. If we extract some of our business time to extend our software and publish an additional commercial version, the unique feature "very easy-to-use" will remain.
Please reconsider if you review us as 'overrated' and vote 'average' that you get a stable and probably the most easy-to-use form extension for free!
Thank again
thanks
