php variable question

I'm setting up a contact form where the user chooses the person to email from a dropdown list. I can't seem to get the dropdown value to pass properly, I'm sure I'm missing something and was wondering if anyone can help:

Here's the HTML:
PHP Code:
<div class="form">What is your question related to: 
<select name="posSubject" id="posSubject">
<option value="bill" selected>General Question</option>
<option value="john">Warranty Question</option>
<option value="cory">Estimating</option>
<option value="bob">Service Question</option>
</select> 
Here's the code in my mail script:
PHP Code:
$yourEmail = $_POST["posSubject"] . '@mydomain.com'; 
It never picks up the posSubject value and the output is just @mydomain.com The select box is between the form tags, I'm using POST method, and the other fields are working fine. Any ideas?

Thanks!

    Based on your given code, I assume you haven't used the Form tag. Try this and I hope it will definitely work.
    <?php
    if (isset($_REQUEST['CSubmit']))
    {
    $curr = $_POST ['posSubject']. '@mydomain.com';
    echo $curr;
    }
    ?>
