Outgoing Mail Control - Service Plan Locks & Resellers

MichalisZ

New Pleskian
Hello,

the new Outgoing Mail Control seems to work and is starting to help us prevent many spam issues.

It would be great if some extra control was added as:
1) the main limits could lock every subscription on the server and be forced server wide (something like force globally on/off)
For example, you need a strict mail policy and want to force all the subscriptions/domains/plans of the server to have specific limits.
This on/off should force the limits to all subscriptions/plans for better security and lock them from changes so no one could override it.

2) limits should be forced to resellers, as right now they can override the global settings (two suggestions) and spam the server...
a)firstly it would be nice to be able to set limits to the service plans of resellers, eg reseller-plan1 can have subscriptions that can send max 100 emails/per domain, reseller-plan2 can have domains that can send max 200 emails/per domain etc
In this way the service plans of the resellers or their subscriptions will not be able to override the max reseller limits, eg the resellers would not be able to raise the limits of their plans over their max limits.
For example, a new reseller subscription could thus be created with a "mail limited" reseller plan (if set)/global (if custom) limits (as it happens now) but also they would not be able to manually raise the limit of a account/domain/subscription over what the max value of the reseller plan is.

b)enable a function at the permissions tab of reseller plan like "Ability to change mail settings", eg "Ability to change outgoing mail settings" in order to control if you want them to be able to change the limits of their subscriptions/plans.
For example, reseller-plan1 may not have the option to change the subscription/plan outgoing mail limits, but reseller-plan2 may have it. In the first case, all reseller's subscriptions could be created with the plan value (2a) or the global settings.
Right now, the only way to limit resellers from overriding the limits is to disable the "Ability to change mail settings". In this way they can not change the mail settings of an subscription which includes also the webmail software etc..., but still they can override the limit by changing the service plan values.

Thank you :)
