im designing a site for a buisness, ive used a tutorial here on kirupa to make an email form for online enquiries, it works but returns this error after successfully sending the email:

Data has been submitted to suavsilk:smirk:gmail.com!Who are you?: Inappropriate ioctl for device

what is this "Who are you?: Inappropriate ioctl for device " ?

can i get rid of it? and can i also somehow set up an automatic redirection back to the home page?

here is the mailer.php file:
