I think anything that hard-codes the To: address couldn't be used as an open 
relay, though it could possibly be used to send spam to you.  :-)  

I use a ruby script my husband wrote at my site.  It's not perl or php, but 
you could probably make your own from it fairly easily.
Here's the HTML file that calls it:

and here's the Ruby code:
http://www.icecavern.net/~qirien/mailto.txt (needs to be named cgi-bin/
mailto.cgi to work; also, ruby 1.8 must be installed)
