It would be nice if plugins could take over sendmail duty. This would allow a plugin (ultimately, only one plugin could do this) to save/retain outgoing emails, throttle email for webhosts that have extremely low hourly mail requirements, and similar duties.

First task is to split the existing COM_mail into public interface and actual functionality since the actual functionality of COM_mail is very good, it just lacks hooks.

As for the hooks, create a $_CONF['sendmail_plugin'] which can be none (send no mail), internal (use normal internal mailer), custom (call CUSTOM_email) or the name of a plugin (calling plugin_sendmailhandler_$plugin). For backwards compatibility, if the $_CONF is not set, it uses CUSTOM_email if exists or the internal mailer otherwise.

Here is the code:
Text Formatted Code
 // adapted from CVS
function COM_mail( $to, $subject, $message, $from = '', $html = false, $priority = 0, $cc = '' )
{
    global $_CONF, $_PLUGINS;
    static $mail_func = null;

    if ($mail_func === null) {
        if (isset($_CONF['sendmail_plugin'])) {
            $pi_name = $_CONF['sendmail_plugin'];
            if ($pi_name == 'none') {
                $mail_func = 'none';
            } else if ($pi_name == 'internal') {
                $mail_func = 'INTERNAL_sendmail';
            } else if ($pi_name == 'custom' && function_exists('CUSTOM_mail')) {
                $mail_func = 'CUSTOM_mail';
            } else {
                $function = 'plugin_sendmailhandler_'.$pi_name;
                if (in_array($pi_name, $_PLUGINS) && function_exists($function)) {
                    $mail_func = $function;
                }
            }
        } else if (function_exists('CUSTOM_mail')) {
            $mail_func = 'CUSTOM_mail';
        }
       
        if ($mail_func === null) {
            foreach ($_PLUGINS as $pi_name) {
                $function = 'plugin_sendmailhandler_'.$pi_name;
                if (function_exists($function)) {
                    $mail_func = $function;
                    break;  // first found, first used.
                }
            }
        }
        if ($mail_func === null) {
           $mail_func = 'INTERNAL_sendmail';
        }
    }

    if ($mail_func == 'none') {
        return true; // success
    }
 
    if( empty( $from ))
    {
        $from = COM_formatEmailAddress( $_CONF['site_name'], $_CONF['site_mail']);
    }

    $to = substr( $to, 0, strcspn( $to, "\r\n" ));
    $cc = substr( $cc, 0, strcspn( $cc, "\r\n" ));
    $from = substr( $from, 0, strcspn( $from, "\r\n" ));
    $subject = substr( $subject, 0, strcspn( $subject, "\r\n" ));
    $subject = COM_emailEscape( $subject );

    return $mail_func($to, $subject, $message, $from, $html, $priority, $cc);
}

function INTERNAL_sendMail( $to, $subject, $message, $from, $html, $priority, $cc)
{
    global $_CONF;
    static $mailobj;

    include_once( 'Mail.php' );
    include_once( 'Mail/RFC822.php' );
// as existing COM_mail() from here
