If you want to receive an email you could just set up a textview with a send email button. Tapping the button would launch Mail.app and the user would send the email that way.
You could instead have the send email button do an NSURLConnection with a POST to send the text to your server. In that case you need server side scripting to handle the receipt of the message.
TodVader, I don't believe you can use PHP script on the device itself, if that's what you meant.

No, I ment connecting to an external website that has a page with the form and a script to process the mail.
Another option is to present a UITextView and then use the text as the body of an email you send from within the app.
