Hi, Sort of mailing this in as the result of the rantings of quite a few mates of mine who look after shared hosting boxes. Would it be acceptable to do up a patch for the mail() function which'll listen to an ini entry[0] for a logfile to log all mail sent using this function. Basically, the reasoning boils down to when some naive user writes a little bit of a bad script then somebody exploits that nasty script, there's no way to tell which virtualhost has sent which mail and to whom. The format I'm thinking of is: [timestamp] [http_host] [script] [subject] [from] If I could work out a way to do this as a pecl module, I'd be more than happy to, but I can't see such a way - If anybody can point me in the right direction here though, please shout. I'm more than happy to draft up a patch for this rather than just talking about it, and I do feel it's an important issue - not least in order to kill a certain amount of the FUD that I hear about php on this issue. [0] I know, ini entries bad - but for this purpose, justified I feel. I'd like to do two: mail_log = bool & mail_logfile = string. Opinions? Good or bad? Should I go ahead with doing up a patch or not ? Cheers. -- Gareth Ardron
