Depending on where are you hosting your website, if it allows you to execute PHP scripts, then in your form just put as an action a PHP script somewhere, and just receive the data via the $POST variable. PHP already has a function to send email.
http://php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php
Its pretty simple to use. Problem being that if you send too much from a non email account (as you can put whatever you want in the From: header) some emails like Gmail or so may tag your mail as spam.
The script can be on a different hosting or domain, but then you'll encounter some security issues.
