Miscellaneous Hacks - Stop users from using contact form

If your site is using a Help Desk of sorts for support and are trying to eliminate e-mail support users still can email you by typing in the URL to your site and loading the file sendmessage.php file Instead of deleting, renaming or CHMODing the file I thought it was a better idea to just do a PHP re-direct.

So in sendmessage.php delete everything inbetween and including: <?php and ?>

Insert:

<?php
header("location: [some-url]");
?>

Where some-url is where you would like to send your users when they attempt to manualy contact you via email.

You can specify a way in the ACP (I.E. url) but the sendmessage.php script is still accessable to anyone who know the file name.

This doesn't deserve a 1 star rating. Rated 5. Not going to use it as its not needed but great mod.
