Error in sending e-mail from Contact Us page

I am new to Web design and using Zen Cart. I have the book “e-Start Your Web Store with Zen Cart” It has helped me in the design of my web page Delsand.com.

I have the following problem when sending the email from the “Contact Us” page.

When in the “Contact Us” page and with the required fields entered, you click on the send button the following error is generated:

500 Error - Internal Server Error
This error was caused due to an unexpected difficulty in fulfilling the user request. The most likely cause of this error is a crashed or error'd CGI script or program. Please verify that the program is properly compiled and/or operational and carry out any necessary debugging.
If you are not responsible for this resource, please send a bug-report to the address listed below describing your problem. Please include in the report the date, time, your e-mail address, the website on which this error occured and what you were attempting to do when this error occurred. Your compliance is appreciated.
The http call was
http://delsand.com/zencart/index.php?main_page=contact_us&action=send

Environment:

Zen Cart version:       1.3.7.1
Database Patch Level:   v1.3.7.1 [2007-07-24 18:21:19] (Fresh Installation)
PHP Version: 5.2.3 (Zend: 2.2.0)

Mysql 
Active Persistent Links 0 
Active Links 	        1 
Client API version 	5.0.45 
MYSQL_MODULE_TYPE 	external 
MYSQL_SOCKET 	        /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock 
MYSQL_INCLUDE    	-I/usr/include/mysql 
MYSQL_LIBS 	        -L/usr/lib -lmysqlclient 

Client API version 5.0.45

Server Host: web304.opentransfer.com (76.163.252.84)
Server OS: Linux 2.6.18-53.1.7.el5.erekPAE
Database Host: mysql301.ixwebhosting.com (76.162.254.148)
HTTP Server: Apache/1.3.37 (Unix) mod_throttle/3.1.2 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 mod_psoft_traffic/0.2 mod_ssl/2.8.28 OpenSSL/0.9.8b

Action taken:
Check it out on different PC to assure that the error was not with the default mail program.

Checked to assure other emails were being generated correctly and they were, Order confirmation, Welcome, Order status changes, etc.

I deleted and replaced the file “tpl_contact_us_default.phpfile” in the zencart/includes/templates/thestore/template_default/templates with the original one from
/zencart/includes/templates/template_default/templates/

I am still getting the error has anyone else reported this problem? Do I need to contact ix web hosting?
Any direction on this would be welcome.

Re: Error in sending e-mail from Contact Us page

:clap:Problem solved, thanks to a link to other similar problems:

DrByte wrote on 20 aug 2006. “ in reply to another contact email problem "In Admin->Configuration->Email Options->Contact Us Pulldown .... what happens if you leave this blank?”

That was the problem I had a bad syntax for my drop down list:

I had
[email protected], [email protected]
It should have been blank or
Sales[email protected], Support[email protected]
I did not follow the correct syntax as was documented on the Set "Contact Us" Email Dropdown List

"On the "Contact Us" Page, set the list of email addresses , in this format: Name 1 email@address1, Name 2 email@address2":

Thanks to DrByte and those answer posted problems for the help
