Currently when this is abused there is NO WAY to track which user/website/IP is abusing the function - what we really need is for PHP to insert an header that cannot be removed by the website administrator (possibly a setting in php.ini to enabled this email header tracking feature by the system administrator). This header will contain information that will help the system admin track the abuser; such a patch that works very well (and is VERY simple to implement) can be found here: http://www.lancs.ac.uk:8080/~steveb/patches/php-mail-header-patch/ ...it is a real headache for the system administrators that really need this change to have to recompile PHP.
