For a "secure" referer check, the formmail script should
download the original html file with the form and
compare some of the submitted information, namely the
receiver email address.
As it is widely known, the referer can be easily changed
by a hacker and a simple referer check only makes it a
bit more difficult to misuse the formmail script, but still
possible.

Could you implement this check in your script?
