Nice job if you wrote this yourself!

[YellowKnife]

These are old tutorials from my old forum. Thought would be nice to add here.

[Sapientia]

Oh, I see. Nice share though!

Nice share, I needed something like this.

Tables :fuu:

Pretty cool but would be nice to have customized errors for every field.

It doesn't have any kind of filtration or securing mechanisms? It doesn't check for a valid e-mail?
And sending as someone from a mail server other than the original host throws red flags to providers and marks them as spam.

This exactly. Definitely a good start, OP, but this is flawed and highly vulnerable to spam, leading to HIGHLY slowed messages.

There'd be no "slowing" of messages, you'd just have a pretty full spam box if people decided to bot it and use it as an e-mail bomber.

ReCAPTCHA or another CAPTCHA alternative would be a plus too.

Actually, excessive outgoing messages delays sending. True story, seen it happen.
