I could write it myself too, I can do it, in no more than ten minutes, but I don't want to reinvent the wheel, and maybe if I write it, despite the fact that I administer mail servers, web servers and many others, maybe I fall under some exploitable bug too... so maybe there's an existing good script already written, that many people uses, and that is known to be good? do I explain myself? I googled and found several, but looking at them, I didn't like them, because they were more like simple scripts like the ones posted in the docs of the mail() function, or the ones which were generic, for any form, weren't good, and didn't have any type of checks, and were obviously and easily exploitable.. so looking at the PHP manual is not the answer for me in this case, I don't want a 2 line script, I want something good and serious...
