And with PHPMailer there's a package that does this work for you ;-) As I said: What I do with my traffic is none of the hoster's business.

Hi While it *is* possible to do what you ask for, it would be worthless. I can write from scratch a php script that * looks up the mx record for a given email address * connects to the mail server looked up * send the message. Since the SMTP protocol is fairly simple, I am sure many others can and will use this to circumvent your limitations.

(I gather you probably have lots of users mailing via php but that doesn't mean that php should responsible for managing send quotas, and if it was then whats to stop me using exec() to call a cmdline mailer and bypass whatever security you have put in place?) sounds to me like you need to look into the possibilities of customizing you smtp server (and/or) creating some OS level wrapper that is resonsible for quota checking. long description :D I have a webserver, and I want to limit the usage of mail function for each host I have there..
