That doesn't mean it's secure. What can matter is /how/ the "To" address
is hard-coded (i.e. message envelope or message headers).
The usual way of breaking a form/mail script is to inject a sender
email address that contains a newline followed by a legitimate "To:"
header. If the form/mail script is configured then to send its email by
reading the resulting mail message headers instead of using a hard-coded
envelope address then you've got a successful attack vector.
If you use the NMS formmail script I'll accept that it's secure.
Otherwise all bets are off.
