Note that the security problem is not with the machine that views the form, but with the remote server. Anyone on the Internet could craft an HTTP request to fool your remote server into sending messages unless you, say, configure Apache to whitelist only service requests from your machine. Right now you can operate because no one has found your service, but security-through-obscurity is not a good model.

And that's presuming they don't take advantage of some obscure sendmail bug to own your remote server.
