... Which is exactly why I wrote the patch. Logging just static info (such as site name) is useful, but hardly where you should stop. Writing wrapper scripts are OK, but can be easily circumvented if people just write a script to connect directly. Not to mention, there is no way to set -D for CGI scripts unless you make a wrapper sendmail program - so this patch makes things easier for an admin. You don't need any wrapper scripts, and the only "hack" required is for PHP *if* it runs as a DSO module. If you have PHP run as a CGI, it would act just like any other CGI script. Of course the patch isn't fool proof, but it's a step in the right direction and DOES make an admins job much easier.
