My company uses a home-grown formmail script for clients

Yes, I know the right answer is to not use a formmail,
but I don't make the rules here.
Is there a way to detect that a script is being accessed
by curl, and not by a browser?
It sounds like you have a PHP script with a security vulnerability, and
you think that restricting what the client uses to request the script is
going to fix it. This is not a good approach. Just fix the problem. :-)
For example, filter the data you receive from the client before passing
it as arguments to the mail() function.
Hope that helps.
