Hey

FIrst off I would suggest using an SMTP to send the email, it would increase the chances of delivery. Secondly, I would suggest using a library like PHPMailer, makes everything easier and better (can be used with SMTP easily aswell).

You are saying you want to make an autoresponder but that code is actually the part to send the notification to you that something filled the contact form.
What you can do, if you do not want to use a library and make everything simple (without changing much, or anything), simply add the code below:

Code:

mail($_REQUEST['email'], "Your message has been received!", "Hey we would like to let you know that we received your message. You should hear from us in less than 24 hour., $headers);

(Maybe you could change the $headers a bit too).

Also, I am not sure how you are handling the requests, but in a form it's usually $_POST (still depends on configuration/setup/framework).
