Well in my case, the script only let's you send email in a specific format (i.e. Hey ______, Your friend _______ sent you _____), but thats a good point. It's not an unsolvable problem though, all you need is some way to make sure the request is really coming from your application, like assigning a client certificate when they activate or something.

I have an app that sends emails, and what I did is have it post the message parameters to my server. Then, a PHP page processes the parameters and sends mail using PHP.

Cool! What's the address of your PHP script? I have a couple million V**gr* ads I need to send untraceably... ;-)

No, what I meant to say was, "this seems like the sort of thing that could be exploited by spammers, and get you blacklisted from your hosting site, so watch out."
