Well ... $_POST["usrname"] and $_POST["usremail"] are perfectly fine
variables. You don't need to copy them to some other variables and use
the copies instead.
/And/ the $_POST array is a "super global" array, which means it will
exist inside functions, included files, or whetever else you can think
of.

Use the super global array instead:

mail($admin_email, $subject,
$from_info . "\n\n{$_POST['usrname']}\t\t\t\t{$_POST['usremail']}",
"From: downloads@--.com.au");

I'd have to take a look at your script to understand why.
Maybe tomorrow, no promises.

I (almost) never check the dodgeit address.
If you *really* need to mail me, use the address in the Reply-To
header with a message in *plain* *text* *without* *attachments*.
