I added this to my virtual host:

<Directory /dir/to/your/web/root>
...
        php_admin_value sendmail_path "tee mail.out > /dev/null"
...
    </Directory>

It worked!

Did this work for you? I'm getting a apachectl configtest ... /main.conf error: Invalid command 'php_admin_value', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration – Brian Stinar May 22 '19 at 20:28

You cannot disable php system calls on a per-virtualhost basis.

However you can:

Put this virtualhost into the container and disable sendmail there (method starts from disabling MTA to removing sendmail binary entirely)
this is a method without any limitaions
Since PHP is an interpreter language you can find all mail( occurences with fgrep -R and comment out these lines.
However, this doesn't work for pre-compiled solutions
