I'm currently geotargeting all the IPs in the log, and focusing on the hits from Russia (the majority of these apache@ spams seem to be Russian). I've got a much shorter list of scripts to look at now. Hopefully I'll find some that just use mail() with no scrubbing. -- PHP General Mailing List (

I think I must have misstated the problem. Thanks to everyone for the replies, but the question is not how to fix it, it's how to find the script being attacked. Many different admins manage many different sites on this server, and I can't even begin to guess how many mail forms are on there fro
