Author Topic: How to limit outgoing email per day and user (Read 15875 times)

AmilaDG · « **on:** July 27, 2010, 09:37:29 AM »

My host can send unlimited email per day. Then some users send about 1000 to 5000 mails per day. I need limit number of outgoing email per users + per day. Please help solve this issue.

You would need to add a limit on your mail server, not in RoundCube.

How do i do that. I'm new for server config things. Please explain :confused:

I can't really help you, the mail server is not a part of RoundCube. I'd recommend that you find a support form for your mail server and ask there.

I apologize, the host provider says like these.

(9:40:26 AM) AmilaDG: wait. i'll check
(9:41:51 AM) #######: Okay.
(9:43:35 AM) AmilaDG: you told about "The maximum each domain can send out per hour (0 is unlimited)"
(9:45:07 AM) #######: Yes you would change that to limit the amount of mail sent per hour.
(9:45:33 AM) AmilaDG: it is about domain no? i need per account?
(9:46:31 AM) AmilaDG: as example a@domain.com and b@domain.com

No matter what your provider says, this is not something Roundcube will do for you or something that Roundcube even remotely supports doing.

If your using CPanel you should try asking on the CPanel forms, they may be able to give you a better answer.

I run a demo site for Roundcube @ Mail4us.net Webmail :: Welcome to Mail4us.net Webmail. People are able to register their own account anonymously.

I prevented Roundcube from spammers very successfully:

#1- Block smtp port (25) for connections outside your LAN. Only Roundcube is able to send mails.
#2- 'dnsbl' plugin to lock out connections to Roundcube from blacklisted IPs.
#3- 'limit_recipients' plugin to restrict sending out bulk mails.
#4- 'blockspamsending' plugin to restrict sending out mails with same content within one session.
#5- Finally I configured a delay of 90 seconds to send messages ( $rcmail_config['sendmail_delay'] = 90; ).
