Using the referrers is not at all secure -- this reliance on the referrer is
what allows use of formmail.pl for spamming.  Remember that the referrer
information comes from the browser (or whatever software someone is using to
connect to your server) and it is quite simple for someone to write software
that will just send whatever referrer will allow them to use your formmail
for spam.

The allowed recipients must be individually specified in the script itself
in order for the script to be secure.
