You will have to get that information from your server, cause there are different paths according to each server.
The most used methods are cgiemail or formmail.

cgiemail
------------
cgiemail is a CGI to E-Mail gateway. It accepts the results of a form, and uses a template file to build and construct an e-mail message containing those results. This makes it considerably more flexible than FormMail.

To use cgiemail, you must first construct a form for site visitors to use to send you information. If you have a Virtual or Vanity Domain, the opening tag of the form must be:

<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="/cgi-sys/cgiemail/template.txt">
If you do not have a domain, or if you are using SSL and do not have your own secure certificate, you must use:
<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="/cgi-sys/cgiemail/username/template.txt">
In either case, cgiemail will automatically find your Web directory and look there (or in a subdirectory you specify) for the template file.
-----------------------------------

formmail

Sample usage:


<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="/cgi-sys/formmail.pl">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="recipient" VALUE="you@example.com">

...other form fields go here...

<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Submit">
<INPUT TYPE="reset" VALUE="Reset">
</FORM>

The following fields can be defined for formmail.pl; only the recipient field is required:

recipient (required)
This field specifies the destination e-mail address for the form contents. Example:

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="recipient" VALUE="address@domain.com">

The best way to do that is:
$> find / -name sendmail

usually it is at /usr/lib/sendmail but that depends on
your operating system.
hope that helps!
