Does php mail() still bypass cPanel sending limits?

I see lots of posts about this, but most are years old... Does php still bypass cPanel "mails per hour" limits? If so, I'd rather just disable php mail altogether. It's not like using smtp is hard.

  php mail function doesn't bypass cPanel "mails per hour" limits. It will block the domain, even if it is send from php script. You will see error messages like below, in /var/log/exim_mainlog.
  R=enforce_mail_permissions: Domain test.com has exceeded the max emails per hour (5/4 (125%)) allowed. Message discarded.

  Hello :) It's still likely a good idea to disable the ability for PHP scripts to send out email as a method of preventing SPAM. Thank you.
