    Default forms with nobody disabled

    if i keep allowing user "nobody" to send mails, many of forms hosted are exploited by people submitting it from remote URL's

    if i disable the nobody from root whm forms no longer work at all, even those which were not expoited ever.

    Can someone let me know which form2 mail should be used on a server with nobody disabled, also is this a good IDEA to disable the user "nobody" from whm.

    thanks in advance.

    Default

    You need to recompile Apache with Phpsuexec it will run the scripts under the ownership of user and not the nobody user.Make sure that there are no php scripts with the nobody:nobody file ownership.
