Package: php5
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

We all know PHP is (ab)used by many developers with not all the care and
experience one would want. Since PHP under Debian is widely used in
multi hosting enviroments, one of the common headaches of these sites
sysadmins is controling which site is being abused to send SPAM.

There's a patch [1] that adds and extra header to the mails sent from
PHP, with all the info required (server name, script name, remote addr)
to track the origin of the mail. This patch will help A LOT Debian
admins/users with PHP scripts that send mail.

Please consider adding this patch to PHP4/5 for etch.

Thanks,

Alberto
