we've had some issues with malicious scripts sending spam from the server. I've tracked down the offending scripts and (hopefully) removed all traces. but I'm taking this opportunity to harden the system. I'd like to enforce a policy that all outgoing mail through accounts must authenticate. currently, mail can be sent from website scripts via localhost without authentication. but for the life of me, I can't find any setting in WHM that would allow me to require that. is it simply not there? or am I missing it?

  Hello :) You can use the "Advanced Editor" in "WHM Home " Service Configuration " PHP Configuration Editor" and add "mail" to the disable_functions option to prevent PHP scripts from sending out email without authenticating.
