You should use a server side scripting language for that. There are may
options available: PHP, RubyonRails, ASP.NET, Coldfusion, etc. jQuery is
just a client side scripting language to enhancethe user experience. The
flow of data still the same: user fill the form, form submitted, a
server script receive the data and proceess it, ex: sending it to an email.

You can handle that with a simple if in the server side.
