Holah This morning i had a problem, i integrated Mandrill with my cPanel/WHM to be the default mail sender .. The problem now is a website was hacked through an old wordpress theme and sent about 15000 spam emails and CSF never sent an alert to say that a domain just sent more that 100 emails/hour as it is set to do .. Before i integrated Mandrill it used to work ok but now nothing .. Is they anything i can do to fix this without removing Mandrill ?

  Hello :) For PHP scripts, you could add "mail" to the disable_functions line in your PHP configuration file so that SMTP authentication is utilized instead. The following document may also be helpful: How To Prevent Email Abuse Thank you.

  Hello I read about adding "mail" to the disable_functions line .. What i read from another forum post is that if i add that line no mail will be sent from the server . What i am looking for is a way to prevent wordpress scripts/themes from sending unsolicited mail . Or maybe, if all the wordpress sites are forced to add an smtp plugin, would that work if i disable mail through the disable_functions line and can it still keep regular email accounts sending mail normally ?

  Yes, mail is still sent out from scripts after disabling the PHP "mail" function if you force them to use SMTP authentication for sending. Thank you.
