Thanks for all your responses. I look forward to iMail creating a solution (or if it has to be the next version of Declude Hijack) to bring control over how many emails can be sent by an account each day that will also work when spammers use scripts in webmail's compose page. We are able to control spammers sending outgoing mail when they use methods other then scripts in webmail, all though it is time consuming for us. Currently iMail tech support has no suggestions on how to stop spammers using this method with their product.
NEW IMAIL FEATURE: iMail tech support has told me that the only way this feature will be implemented is if "lots" of iMail customers send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (as in not this forum discussion, only by email to this address) requesting. "New iMail Feature: Restrict the number of outgoing emails that can be sent during a time period (i.e. a day) by a user account (not just by an IP address) to prevent spammers from using scripts in webmail or otherwise.".

Thet would be the best solution and should be simple to fix. Hijack could then bypass the server's IP and check against the client IP.

Would also be nice to chain/link this with the email inbound storage limit as well. Ie: 1) unlimited in/out - 2) 20meg in / 1000 out - 3) 10meg in / 25 emails out. ~Rick ___________________________________________________________________ Virus Scanned and Filtered by http://www.FamHost.com E-Mail System.
