What's "nobody mail"?

What do you mean by "enable it"?

Cpanel has this function in the tweak settings:

Prevent the user 'nobody' from sending out mail to remote addresses (php and cgi scripts generally run as nobody if you are not using phpsuexec and suexec respectively.)

Are you saying you need "nobody" to send mail and it isn't?

Or that you need to block sender "nobody" from sending email?

There's nothing in the exim.conf file that would affect mail sent by nobody; you might have to check the exim documentation at http://www.exim.org, or ask questions on the exim-users mailing list.

apologies for not being specific. I want to block "nobody" from sending mass mail as our last server on Cpanel was badly hitted by not blocking this function.

Hey,

I believe this is probably related to cPanel running Apache as user "nobody".

DA doesn't do that... Apache is run as user "apache". At least that's what I see on RH9.
