From: w dot ashcroft at redfoxuk dot com Operating system: Windows PHP version: 5.2.0 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Mail Function Abuse
Description: ------------ This isnt a bug as such, but rather a change that is desperatly needed to the mail() function. 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.
