No problem at all. I just build a page on my site (or locally if I have
a web server installed) and have the form's action= point at the script
on your site. I can place anything I want on the page and it will be
sent to your script.

There is nothing which requires input to your site to come from a form
on your site. It can come from anywhere - something hackers use to
their advantage.
