'''Question: Am I allowed to use formmail.pl?'''

No! Spammers have tools that search sites 24/7 for this script. It's just a matter of time before they find it and start using  it to send out vast amounts of spam.

 . Any form mailer these days should have a captcha requirement to prevent abuse by bots.  Google offers ReCaptcha.  More information can be found here.
