Problem is, is when I enter and actual email address it wont send but if I just put text with out the @ symbol it will send. I would love your input on what I did wrong, thank you.

How do you know its sending if the email isn't going to a valid email address? Makes no sense.

Your error checking doesn't work very well either. Even if they don't fill in all the fields, an email will still be sent. You need to include the mail() function into the if() part.
