This looks like a failed header injection attack.

Some background: Lots of web form handlers, including the most basic Perl and PHP tools, will build the headers and body of a message as one long string, then pass it to Sendmail. If a form allows user-supplied data for any header content -- most often a subject, a sender's name or email address -- and the form does not properly sanitize the input, an attacker can add a newline to the data and build up their own headers and message body.

Absolutely what I was trying to say earlier.

A _great_ article on the matter is here:
