limit send email

[galdang]

Hi,

I'm a newbee to this forum, so please xcuse me for any dumb questions.
Searched this forum for an answer. but couldn't find one.
Is there a way to limit the amount of "send" emails through every doman on a per user basis ?

This to prevent that the domain is being abused with sending "spam" in case one of my clients business/home computer gets hacked.

I don't think so. It's not a plesk option.

you can limit the connections:

or simply use thunderbird ;-)

Thanks for the fast reply.
but if i inderstand correctly this will only limit the number of simultaneous connections.
What i want is to limit the number of outgoing emails in a defined time period/per domain/per user/
In this case a hack in a remote client computer could not send more mails per time period as defined.

even more hightech would be to give an alert when a send quota would be exceeded.
