Ahh yes, my common rant in "cgi-to-email" solutions. Your form can be used to send spam. Please do not deploy this code on the world-wide web until you have ensured that you do not get delivery addresses from form data. Otherwise, when someone discovers that your form sends email, they'll exploit it for spamming, and you'll get the blame, and then your system will be RBL'ed, and you'll end up hating the world, or something like that.
