[BlueOnyx:22432] escapeshellcmd disabled by default - wordpress contact form 7

[Jochen Demmer]

Hi,

please correct me if I'm wrong but due to recent error of a customer of
ours with wordpress / contact form 7 I have come to the following
conclusions:

* escapeshellcmd is being disabled in blue onyx by default because it's
a stupid function that should not be used and may result in security
problems
* the default mail() function in php uses escapeshellcmd itself
* wordpress uses mail() and therefore is doomed not to work flawlessly

- Why did you decide to disable escapeshellcmd by default?
- Is the only way of resolving my issue to enable escapeshellcmd?
- How can I enable escapeshellcmd only for this vsite permanently
(updateproof)?

Thank you
