Good call. SMTP is an option in WordPress via a simple plug-in and all other apps also have SMTP function. With the free certs my mail domain is even secured now and only uses SSL for smtp. I see no need for legit phpmail now except laziness to get smtp working properly.
Commands in that inmotion tutorial is not about infected files. It checks in exim maillog & then shows directories from where scripts were executed to send emails & the number of emails that were sent from those directories.
Yups i was try that commands and it's return /usr/bin/some folder and there is nothing there
If you also provide reseller hosting and same customer violate your rule again and again then terminate whole reseller account.
I think there is a function which notify you If anyone start sending to many emails. I can't remember which function allow this option to get notified If cross x amount of email per minute or hour.
I will check this.
There are some custom coded applications too which use phpmail. So I can't turn it off globally.
CSF will send notifications. I'm already using it.
Personally I don't care too much. The system blocks the emails before they even send, so it doesn't matter to me. Once in a while I'll audit the log and throw in some htaccess rules on infected sites to clean them up, but thankfully with the new wordpress anti-brute i put in place it has cut down how many reinfections happen after a cleanup;.
