Since that looks basically write, i'd recommend asking your host whether or not you're even allowed to send mail from your site.
If you are, then i'd take a look at the following link and see if you can find anything.

...Or you can check out a few tutorials in the tutorial-section of this forum. I´ve added a tutorial there myself.
