    i suck at this - help

    can anybody tell me why this little contact form isn't working for me? i get 'Mail Error' when I submit the form.


    PHP Code:
    <?


$str="";
$str= "Name:".$_POST['txt_name']."<br><br>"."Email: ".$_POST['txt_email']."<br><br>Subject: ".$_POST['txt_subject']."<br><br>Message: <br>".$_POST['txt_msg'];
$to= '[email protected]' ;
$subject="Free Consultation Form";
$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: '.$email . "\r\n";
$message =   $str;
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers) or die("Mail Error");


if($_POST['chk_me']==1) {
    $to=  $_POST['txt_email'] ;
    $subject="Free Consultation Form";
    $headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
    $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
    $headers .= 'From: '.$email . "\r\n";
    $message =   $str;
    mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers) or die("Mail Error");
    
}

header("Location:". $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);

?>

              well i sent in a ticket to the host 9 hours ago but no response - mainstream host, this isn't for an adult site.

                  and note that you'll find yourself listed as a spammer at some point when the spambots find your form. For the "from" address they'll enter:

                  [email protected]
                  Cc: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]...

                  For the from address or anything else user submitted, use only the captured text from a proper regex match on valid input.

                              tried it on another server - works. this host must have mail blocked.

                              i have no idea how to make the form spammer proof - it's a jquery mail form called SimpleModal that seems to be very popular.
