Well, as we've been trying to tell you, you need a thorough understanding of CGI security issues before putting this program on a public-facing server. But as you seem determined to ignore this advice and go ahead anyway, here are a couple of things that you really must think about.

  1. In any program that writes an email, you must ensure that none of the header fields can contain newline characters. If a user can insert newlines into the email headers then they can invent whatevr headers they want and cause your headers to be ignored.
  2. A good rule of thumb is to only send fixed text to email addresses that are read from the form and to only send input taken from the form to a fixed set of known email addresses.
