Looks to me like you are on a Linux server, so you could use PHP to process your contact form and send your email.  See if the forms to go thing looks interesting....

You can do something like this on your page -

<?php echo $success?"<p>Your email has been sent!</p>":''; ?>

<?php echo $fail?"<p>There has been an error. Your email has not been sent!</p>":''; ?>

<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="POST" name="form1">

<label for="comments">Comments: </label>

<textarea name="comments" id="comments"></textarea>

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">

</form>

Then at the top of the page put this (above the doctype) -

<?php

$success = false;

$fail = false;

if (array_key_exists('submit', $_POST) {

$to = 'you@example.com';

$subject = 'The email subject line';

$message = $_POST['comments'];

$headers ="FROM: admin@example.com\r\n";

$success = mail ($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

$fail = !$success;

}

?>

First contact your web host and ask them if they have a form-to-email script you can use.  Hosts often provide scripts on their servers which you can activate through your Admin Panel or by referencing the script in your form's action attribute.

     <form action="path-to-form-on-server/form-to-email-script.php">

Ideally, you want a form-to-email processing script that:

a) validates form input fields,

b) blocks hackers,

c) stops submissions from spam bots,

d) hides your email address from harvesters.  

Formm@iler.php from DB Masters script does all of this  and it's free if you credit the author; $20 per domain if you don't.

Perl isn't as robust as PHP.  If that's all you can use, sure.  But if given a choice, PHP is much better.

So called e-mail address obfuscation methods are not 100% reliable.  If JS is disabled, they don't work.  Also, mailto: links require the end user to have e-mail software installed on their device.  Owing to the increased popularity and accessibility of free web mail services like G-mail, Hotmail, Yahoo mail, etc...  most people don't need e-mail software anymore.  Without software, clicking a mailto: link does absolutely nothing.

For best results, use a contact form with a server-side e-mail processing script.
