Subject: mail() logging for PHP
From: ilia@prohost.org (Ilia Alshanetsky)

Is there any interest in adding support for logging of mail() calls  
and/or adding options that allow identification of who sent the e-mail.

I've wrote a quick patch that enables this functionality via two ini  
settings controllable via php.ini or per-virtual host.

The first option, mail.add_x_header (boolean) allows you to enable  
the addition of the X-PHP-Originating-Script header to each mail sent  
by mail(), which will include the uid of the script and its name. The  
combination of the two should be sufficient to identify the user to  
whom the script belongs and via a simple find command locate the  
actual script. This option is intended primarily for instances where  
you have a bounced e-mail or a forwarded mail with a spam complaint,  
allowing you to quickly identify the offender.

The second option, mail.log (takes a filename) allows you to enable  
logging of every single mail() call, each log line will include the  
fullpath of the file and the line where the mail() was called from in  
addition to the "To" address and any headers (to keep track of CC,  
BCC) that were part of the function call. To ensure that each log  
line is 1 line long, \r and \n are replaced with spaces.

The patch that makes this possible can be found here:
