Also if u look for hosts that cpanel installed formail can be setup with a click of the mouse. Good luck in finding a good host!

www.iarna.co.uk are cheap and offer windows servers so u can use ASP for ur forms

http://www.cpanel.net/ is a powerful control panel that is extremly user friendly and has many scripts that can be installed with a click of a button such as formail, oscommerce etc....

Many hosts use this software including myself, i'll pm you a link to a demo of it on my server so you can see how it works.
