    Hello all!

    I am fairly new to the administrative side of cPanel/WHM and could use some help understanding how (and if it's even possible) to do what I would like.

    I want to to disable PHP scripts (scripts using the mail() function and SMTP if possible) from sending messages externally, but still be able to send messages to internal email addresses. I thought I had read about this somewhere before, but decided I didn't need it at the time and have since been unable to relocate the place I read it.

    Email is being handled on the same server as the web hosting.

    I need the following to remain functional:
    • Email addresses need to be able to send and receive internally and externally.
    • PHP using the mail() function or SMTP need to be able to send internally to existing email addresses (or to forwards)
    • Some accounts are using dedicated IP addresses, so I will need to make sure they are able to send from their scripts internally as well

    I would greatly appreciate any assistance with this.

    Hello :)

    I'm not sure it's possible to limit emails to internal addresses through PHP scripts, but to allow it for normal email accounts. You might be able to implement a custom Exim ACL, so you may want to post the Exim users mailing list to see if any other users have a similar configuration:

    Thank you.
