That sounds interesting.
$EMAIL_VARS contains all POST / GET variables or only what belongs to 
TYPO3 standard mail-form?

My basic idea is to secure any form on a TYPO3 webpage. The forms on the 
html page are changed before output and all GET / POST variables are 
checked. - My first testings looks quite promising.
Just finding the best hook for checking the POST / GET variables now is 
a bit tricky. It tried already some hooks and it works with a lot of 
hooks. But I want the check as early as possible but already want to 
have access to the TypoScript configuration. e.g. via:
$GLOBALS['TSFE']->tmpl->setup['config.']

greetings
