Problem with limits for outgoing emails

David_Lopez

New Pleskian
Hi,

I have a plesk 12 panel with outgoing email limit configured to 10 messages by hour.

I have a redirect account (An account named for example A, without mailbox, doing forward to another two internal accounts B and C). I doesn't know if these account are in use for outgoing email, but i think no.

The problem, are, these account are triggering the outgoing limit everyday on some hours. What's going on? Maybe the forwarding action are counting outgoing emails?

I need some method to check account when they trigger the limit to view who messages are trying to send (At least, headers, because i doesn't understand who messages are triggering limit). Also, if the problem are the forwarding, i need a method to not count these messages as outgoing ones, because i understand, if forwarding are triggered by an automated action / internal redirect / received message, these message doesn't are a outgoing one.


Thanks,
 
You can see in the maillog, when forwarders, autoresponders or mail sents and receives take place. Even if you decline a forward not as an outgoing action, it is still one, because one account sends and email to another one. A setting to "10" per hour is a rather tiny setting and this is reached pretty fast - I would consider to overthink this minimal configuration.
