We have an Apache server with webpage written in php.
Few months ago we discover that tons of spams is being relay through our
webserver.
so we remove the email server link from php.ini
that stop the spams but also the 'contact us' form and 'email this page
form' function
stop working.
Note: the 'contact us' form and 'email this page form' is using the simple
mail() function to send mail.

Now we have to enable the 'contact us' form and 'email this page form'
function again.
So we downloaded the phpmailer from
http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net/
and install it into our webserver.
This mailer utility allows authentication when communicating with the email
server.
My question is will this be able to prevent spams?

Thanks for advice.
