simply place the following on any page after entering your domain.
<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="cgi-sys/FormMail.cgi">
<input type=hidden name="recipient" value="sales@yourdomain.com">
<input type=hidden name="subject" value="Order">
<input type=hidden name="redirect" value="http://yourdomain.com/">
Be sure to replace yourdomain, with your real domain name.
