Thanks for the reference. The problem is solved with this code
modification:
def contact(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
f = ContactForm(request.POST)
if f.is_valid():
email = f.cleaned_data['email']
... #send email
return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('contact_success'))
else:
f=ContactForm()
return render_to_response(
'post_contact.html',
{ 'form':f },
context_instance = RequestContext(request)
)
