This section sends a message when mail returns bool. The first parameters are the address (see Link)

if(@mail($email, $subject, $msg, $headers))

http://php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php

In this example, the email address will be sent to the address that the user enters as $email, filled in with the published value

$email=$_POST['email'];

but you can hard record what you want.

if(@mail('youremail@domain.com', $subject, $msg, $headers))

( , ).

$cc, .

$email, $email = $_POST['email'] ( 42), , (?). 62

if(@mail('yourem@il.com', $subject, $msg, $headers))

, . .

, CC (.. $cc), (CC), , ( , ). .
