This fix still doesn't prevent people from misusing the mail() function, however. I can ask people to use my script instead, but as long as I'm allowing them to use PHP on their own hosted sites, this implies that they are also allowed to use mail(), and that means they're capable of messing it up and inadvertently spamming my inbox. An option in php.ini to either turn some form of tracking/taglining on or off, or alternately disable the function, or limit its use would be a Good Thing(TM) IMHO... -Adam -----Original Message----- From: Bug Database [mailto:php-dev@lists.php.net] Sent: Thursday, November 11, 1999 4:17 PM To: adconrad@0c3.net; php-dev@lists.php.net Subject: Bug #2203 Updated: Failed mail() function untrackable. ID: 2203 Updated by: joey Reported By: adconrad@0c3.net Status: Open Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Assigned To: Comments: Am moving this to a feature request, though I doubt we'll ever see it go anywhere. I would suggest writing a general PHP script to which users post their mail request, allowing you to control things like extra headers.
