Max Mails Per IP Per Day

Max Mails Per IP Per Day

Postby cearnshaw » Fri Feb 20, 2009 9:15 pm

We have our "max mails per IP per day" limit set high to keep mail from one of our trusted sites from being blocked. Unfortunately, this means if a spammer compromises one of our accounts they can have their way with us until they reach this rather high limit. Is there a way to keep trusted IPs from hitting the "max mails per IP per day" limit?

Thanks,


Cameron

Presently this setting effects all mail, and there is currently no way to white list an IP for this setting. I have made a recommendation a white list be added in the future. In them meantime, most likely a SPAM source will abuse your system by getting ahold of some username and password. This means that you can create a new group, place the trusted site in that new group and do no set a mail sending restriction. Then in your old group, you can enforce a maximum mails per day limit. This will then work on a per user basis, and offer a similar protection.
