1.) Copy and save the email script into email.cgi, and upload it into your web sever. But if you dont have a cgi in your websever try to use the free hosting netfirms.com which they supported free cgi. This is the example url or location of the email script. http://www.exinrex.netfirms.com/cgi-bin/email.cgi.
Note: change the below example email address("example\@yahoo.com") in your own email address. You just remain \ between the name email and the site. And also change the "Thankyoupages.html" in your own thank you page.
$email = param('email');
$subject = param('subject');
$name = param('name');
$message = param('message');
$mailprog = '/usr/sbin/sendmail';
$myemail = "example\@yahoo.com";
open (MAIL, "|$mailprog -t") or die "Can't send mail.$!\n";
print MAIL "To: $myemail\n";
print MAIL "From: $email\n";
print MAIL "Subject: $subject\n";
print MAIL "\n";
print MAIL "=====================================================\n";
print MAIL "Sender Name: $name\n";
print MAIL "Message: $message\n";
print MAIL "\n";
close(MAIL);
print "Location: Thankyoupages.html\n\n";
2.) Copy the below Html file and save it or If you already have a website you only need is to insert the form tags into your html page. and change the location of the email script of form action tag.
Note: <form action="location of the email script " method="post"> example location of the email script. http://www.exinrex.netfirms.com/cgi-bin/email.cgi
<html>
<head>
<title>sample</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="http://www.exinrex.netfirms.com/cgi-bin/email.cgi" method="post">
Name: <input type="text" name="name" size ="20"><br>
Email Address: <input type="text" name="email" size ="20"><br>
