I'm probably being a numpty (empty headed) over this. Here's what I want to do.

Someone fills out a form on the site, they hit the send button and it gets sent to my email account. At the moment, the form is normal HTML and in it I've got a line that says <form action=" method="post">

My domain address is brisray.com. So being able to send it to brisray@brisray.com without going through Bravenet would be great. Even getting it to my Yahoo address would be OK at the moment.

I don't even know how I would access any mail sent to brisray@brisray.com.

The only person who will be accessing the email would be me but I'd like to be able to send and receive email through brisray@brisray.com

As the server will shortly be hosting more than one of my sites, how would I arrange for it to both send and receive mail from brisray.com and say, docs.com?

Do I need an SMPT server, if so any thoughts on this. If not, I take it I need some sort of program in the CGI-bin?

Type slowly, and use monosyllabic words if possible - I really am that lost over this.
