Well, as we have identified in the last couple of days, the
internet-only single-computer scenario has a bit of an issue in 0.3.1
that will need to be corrected.  I'd recommend you go ahead with adding
an RF peer to the mix as that should be okay.

That guide was written for 0.2.x.  The "Forms" tab in 0.3.x is the
equivalent, so you're doing the right thing.

I suspect you're missing the part where you add an access rule to allow
the email to be sent.  Refer to this message/thread from a few days ago
and see if that clears it up for you:
