Well cross site forgery and cross site scripting are a few things that people might do, but I don't think it's a big deal

Agreed.
We offer a public API with no access, so there is limited risk and, in addition, we do not use cookies. There are some dangers, but it's really limited in this context!
An attacker can just as easily perform the same attacks with free webhosting on any of the thousands of free webhosts!
Leaving aside that a site like this is so wide open for abuse of all kinds it won't last five minutes, I don't even see the advantage of submitting a form at an email provider over simply submitting a form directly on the site.
