In essence, its not really a newsletter. Its kind of just an email contact form but with just the email address and nothing else. Any ideas

Well I can see already this line here will give you some errors. you are closing the String after From:, The website isnt in a string, then is again but they arent even concated...so it wouldn't work anyhow. Try $mailheaders="From: ".$websiteVar."Other text here";
