I am setting up my first website.
My ISP says they have enabled Form2mail for me and set up a nickname for me.
I am using the following code for my form. When I press submit I get an Internal Server Error message, saying contact the webmaster.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

[edit reason] use example.com, not real domain names [/edit]
My ISP says they have enabled Form2mail for me and set up a nickname for me
<input type="hidden" name="_nickname" value="test">
Is "test" the nickname they set up for you? And are you sure this is the location of the mailer?
<form method="post" action="/cgi-bin/form2mail.cgi">
The 500 error is seldom helpful from a browser. If the location is wrong it is trying to execute a script that doesn't exist and it will still 500.
