To stop spaming from PHP scripts, there is two way.

1. Run PHP as privilaged user, that is use phpsuexe

2. Add info about the script that send email to mail headers, this can be done by modifying PHP source code mail.c

A patch for modifying mail.c is available at

http://choon.net/php-mail-header.php

You can patch PHP with command

patch -p1 < /path/to/my/patch.file

Extended Exim Logging

What this addition does is it ads valuable logging information to your exim_mainlog file so that you can determine where messages are coming from, whos sending the message and from what directory on your server the user NOBODY is originating from, if your seeing mail leaving as nobody. In addition, it adds very useful information to exim_mainlog to help you decipher email coming and going.

Here is an example;

2003-06-27 14:06:18 cwd=/home/usersite/public_html/forums 3 args: /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i
2003-06-27 14:06:18 19W0QE-0001Nr-1b nobody@yourserversname.com from env-from rewritten as ""usersite.com" <minx@usersite.com>" by rule 1

The message above tells me where the message came from, who sent it from my server, the user and the path it was called from. It also tells me how it was called and what it was renamed to before leaving my server.

The message below, tells me an incoming msg arrived with the subject line = "Naked Newsreaders? OH YEAH!". Very helpful in determining spam!!!!! You will see many other messages in exim_mainlog that you didnt see before. Great for debugging your msg logs and catching spammers!!

EG: 19W0bO-0001cY-Ej <= jessica@stripdownnews.com H=(one) [128.121.247.84]:52087 I=[64.246.38.122]:25 P=smtp S=2387 T="Naked Newsreaders? OH YEAH!" from jessica@stripdownnews.com
