in reply to Sending Emails

Make sure that the email addresses you get with the webform are thoroughly checked to contain valid email address characters only....otherwise you may find your box being used as a spam relay.

    Could you please explain how checking for 'valid email address characters' (I take it you refer to RFC822) can prevent your box to become a spam relay?

    Even if you do check, your box could be used as a spam relay, but at least you know the email addresses are 'valid' accoring to the RFC822. Preventing the user to specify the recipient of the email at all seems a better approach to me.
