Get Rid of WebMail

I was very rudely reminded to remove the webmail module. Some jerk used it to send spam through my site. Sad

While I agree with you and the fact that webmail is no longer a part of nuke, it's not webmail as much as allowing people you don't know to use your domain to mail. If you want to offer your members email access I would set up individual accounts for them rather than use webmail or give blanket access. Hopefully we contained this one Wink

How can we disallow it? Just not activate it?

I removed the module and added '2004-08-03 09:56:25
/modules.php?name=WebMail ' to my string blocker

Thanks Steve.

I've deactivated it in the module, is that the same string for everyone's webmail fingie?

If so I'll put that in my string blocker too.

Yes, I think so.
