Your HTML source shows that you are sending your form information to a CGI script in your CGI-BIN, called "mailform.cgi"

Oh, I just realized that the web page you gave was just an example. You can copy the same HTML code and use it on your site. Again, you must get a copy of a CGI script that will handle the email. Do a search on Google for "mailform.cgi" or something similar.

That script must be installed correctly in your CGI-BIN. That of course needs to be done by you, with some knowledge about CGI scripting.

Your webhost may have some help examples and assistance to guide you through the process. In fact, your webhost may already have a pre-installed form processor for their subscribers to use.
