Notice that i have a couple of hundrest of virtual hosts (domains and subdomains) there, and i want to limit them, let`s say.. 100 mails per day.. there is any solution to do that? (i know there is, i saw that in a nwebhosting company) .. can you guide me find this solution? This is not a PHP problem. The mail() function just uses the mail server of the system it is running on. There are several solutions to the problem. For exmaple: If you could configure your server so that the user's PHP scripts run under their user ID (chroot/CGI), you can use the normal mail quota system. And: No, I can't help you any further on this. OLLi Mal: You only gotta scare him. Jayna: Pain is scary...

One more point: If I were your customer and you'd deploy such restrictions, I would leave you. Usually customers pay a fix fee for some free traffic and then must pay for traffic exceeding those limits. What they do with that traffic is none of your business. There are a lot of companies sending out newsletters in a mothly fashion to all of their 2 users who requested to get that newsletter... OLLi Time continues to skip forward randomly.

What they do with that traffic is none of your business. You've obviously never been a hosting provider. Did I say that? I was talking about being a customer. The type of content that might be forbidden in some countries is off topic. The question deals with restricting the amount of mails a customer may send in a certain amount of time. This is what I mean by none of his business. I simply spoke of what the provider puts in the contract and on this point the provider guarantees it's customers something like 50GB free traffic with a fee of 49ct for each GB of traffic exceeding this limit. Nothing about any restrictions on the amount of data of a certain type. If the provider decides to limit the amount of mails per day to 100 the why not limiting the amount of web pages served to 500? Or not more than 20 files per directory? Or may not serve GIF images? Such restrictions are simply ridiculous. OLLi All Glory to the Hypno-Toad!
