It's probably the content of the mail.

well,  I'm getting spaces on the textarea so that the message cursor points to the second line (indented) but I dont't know if my code affects the textarea for some reason. see: http://www.gcfsouth.com/feedback.php

A lot of those bulk issues can be avoided by providing som proper headers in the message.
A lot of questions is regarding this exact problem, so i'll provide an example of a setup that should improve this - study it:
[code]

<?php

// $your_sitename = "here";
// $your_sitemail = "mail@here.net";

// $recipient = $_POST['recipient']; // or a static one ofcourse
// $subject = $_POST['message']; // or a static one
// $message = $_POST['message'];

$naughty = "/(%0A|%0D|\\n+|\\r+)(content-type:|mime-version:|cc:|bcc:)/i";
if(preg_match($naughty, $subject) || preg_match($naughty, $recipient))
{
  die("Sorry, injection attempt blocked!");
}
if(!eregi("^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,3})$", $recipient))
{
  die("Not a valid email adress was provided");
}

$eol = "\r\n";
$headers = "From: $your_sitename <$your_sitemail>".$eol;
$headers .= "Reply-To: $your_sitename <$your_sitemail>".$eol;
$headers .= "Return-Path: $your_sitename <$your_sitemail>".$eol;
$headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP v".phpversion().$eol;
$headers .= "Date: ".date("r").$eol;
$headers .= "Message-ID: <".date("YmdHis").substr(md5(rand()),12)."@".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].">".$eol;
$mime_boundary = md5(time());
$headers .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0'.$eol;
$headers .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit".$eol;
$headers .= "Content-Type: multipart/related; boundary=\"".$mime_boundary."\"".$eol;
$msg = "";
$msg .= "--".$mime_boundary.$eol;
$msg .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit".$eol;
$msg .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1".$eol; // <-- modify charset to suit

$msg .= $eol.$eol.$message.$eol.$eol;

$msg = wordwrap($msg, 70);

if(ini_get('safe_mode'))
{
mail($recipient, $subject, $msg, $headers);
}
else
{
mail($recipient, $subject, $msg, $headers, "-f" . $your_sitemail);
}

?>
