Use 'cgiemail' instead. It is secure (not a big SPAM hole), and
allows you to do much better formatting of the data that will be
returned (both to the web user and to the person receiving the email).

You use a mail server (which is an SMTP client) to send mail from one
machine to another.

Check out ssmtp (which I have used on a windows machine) or
nullmailer.
