I suggest you test out your code according to their alternative method, first:
If you don't want this hassle, an alternative code is: ACTION="mailto:youremailaddress"

If this method works, it could be that your server isn't configured correctly for .cgi, and you'll need to talk to your hosting folks.

A lot of hosts will not allow sending to an email address not within the same domain to prevent the mail server acting as a spam relay. Try setting the recipient to an email address on diberadin.com and see if that works.
