Disabling PHP mail

[David]

What's the best way of disable outgoing mail completely to prevent any abuse?

The best way is to stop mail server and remove it from autorun.

Code: Select all

# RHEL/CentOS

service exim stop
chkconfig exim stop

Code: Select all

# Debian/Ubuntu

service exim4 stop
update-rc.d exim4 disable

Although exim is off, i can still send mail with a php script.

Is there any way to disable this not just for one domain, but for all domains/users on the server? (global)

Ok i found an answer. Just simply rename exim.conf to something else. After that, phpmail will not work.

There is another way for apache/httpd

Code: Select all

<Directory /dir/to/your/web/root>
...
        php_admin_value sendmail_path "tee mail.out > /dev/null"
...
    </Directory>
