If you are using input from a web form to send email, you need to be really
careful that spammers don't hijack your script.
As an example that can submit an email address for the "To" header then add
a whole bunch of other addresses in the CC or Bcc header.
You need to be really careful about checking for conditions like that, such
testing for new line characters, in the form information people are
submitting to you.
