A site that has a formmail on it must use a valid email
address from your site
A web site wouldn't be complete without some simple method of sending comments
or requesting information. A small form and simple CGI can be designed to
facilitate such a task. The comments form and CGI source are presented in
two sections below.
-
The HTML source for the comments form

HTML Source for the Comments Form
The HTML source below represents a simple comments form. This form can be
customized for your site by simply changing the occurrences of the email
address (shown in bold) to the address that you would like to use
in the form. It will not work if you do not have a email set up with us.
