I'm sorry, but I don't understand your question. Are you asking if that code is safe from being hijacked and used to send spam, or if mail sent with it will be seen as spam?

Yap, if mail sent with it will be seen as spam ?

Maybe. There's no real way to tell in advance, as it depeds on numerous factors- content, headers, frequency, etc. The mail function in and of itself isn't normally a factor.

Have a look at swiftmailer class. It will help in several way, you can throttle send speed, it allows easier construction of multi-part emails and setting the headers.
