Comment on Sendmail Wrapper by Jeffrey Huckaby

I’ve attempted to use various wrapper scripts to help with tracking down spam, but have found most too slow or cpu intensive to implement in busy environments.

Does any one have performance notes on this wrapper?

What I would like to see is a way to override the mail function in PHP and auto-include some additional headers. On many shared hosting environments, such as Plesk, Ensim or cPanel based systems, you can add some settings within apache on a per site basis. Perhaps some way to use php admin flags or apache’s own environment variables could be useful.

For example, if I were to set an apache env variable to have the site’s admin user name could this be logged or otherwise inserted into the email using your script?

update - with $PWD

#!/bin/sh
logfile=/var/log/wrapperlog
(date; echo ” | $# | $PWD | $@”) >> $logfile
exec /usr/lib/sendmail “$@”

I have trouble running this script; maybe because phpinfo() shows php is compiled with –disable-cli

Is there a useful alternative using Perl?

I found a simple shellscript that (should) drop number of params and all parameters given to a logfile and pipe to sendmail:

#!/bin/sh
logfile=/var/log/wrapperlog
(date; echo ” | $# | $@”) >> $logfile
exec /usr/lib/sendmail “$@”

Also - every time I submit a form, I get 500Mb in my error log. I’ve tried with register_globals =On and Off

Cool script. I have trouble running it under Suse 10.1 (PHP5) Maybe its the safemode=on. I will investigate…
Two lines drop warnings; $ENV["PWD"] and $data are not initialized.(line 25 and 35 or so)

My installation (PHP4, FC3) delays form processing confirmation, but doesn’t log to the folder /var/log/phpmail

Any ideas?

Yeah I agree, LNP is is fantastic. Is it totally portable in Canada though? Can I change my cell phone number over to a VOiP phone? My VOiP number to a cell phone?

Sorry, the right code is:
