i actually learn this from my hosting guide and i am not very sure on how this works.
is the coding that needs to be reviewed. When you post your form, that is where it's sent and that is where the error comes from, not your form.
I'm **guessing** because you got a stock 500 error (definately the mose informational, helpful error in the world :-/ ) that cgiemail is a perl script.
Is this a form made available by your ISP or loaded on your domain, one that you can view and edit?
There are many things that can cause the error, beginning with not uploading in ASCII format, not having the perl path correct, and execution permissions, among others. Begin by checking out tutorials on perl (if it is indeed a perl mailer) and that should get you on your way.
(*sorry if I've guessed wrong and it's not a perl mailer.)
