I guess you used an ACL whith clause addr 127.0.0.1, but perhaps the
message was sent from ::1 (IPv6) ?

You need your PHP application to talk SMTP instead of using the system
mail/sendmail/whatever command.

You could add a urlcheck clause at the end of your racl blacklist ACL:
if ratelimit does not match it is not evaluated, and if ratelimit
matches, the evaluation continue to the urlcheck clause.

Your urlcheck clause will always evaluate to true but it will send the
signal to a webservice where you can do whatever you want.

An alternative is to log the even, and have another process parsing the
logs.
