I have a P4 2.8GHz Linux box with a Gig of RAM. How many emails per hour could I expect that this server can handle per hour? I would of course want that the server has enough horse power to handle visitors to the web sites.
This is sort of a followup to a previous thread that I started concerning the limit on # of emails per domain per hour. The box came with a [cPanel] default of 500 per hour. Can I expect for my server to be able to handle more than that? 1000? 2000? 10,000? Do I need a more powerful server? I hope not - I just don't have the budget.
[ FYI - The emails are legitimate and not spam. I am sending out email reminders of personal events and holidays to subscribers that enable this option. ]

On an cPanel + RHEL 5.3 box at WHM - Tweak Settings, I activated "The maximum each domain can send out per hour (0 is unlimited)" and set that value to "300".
But, it seems that this limit is only if the user is sending using webmail or an email client, right now a joomla website is sending much more than 300 mails per hour, but it's using php to send the mails.
My question, how can I limit emails per hour on each domain while sending from php?
Code:
29457 username 20 0 29724 13m 5848 R 10.2 0.2 0:00.10 /usr/bin/php /home/username/public_html/index.php

I know there's a option in the WHM that says "The maximum each domain can send out per hour (0 is unlimited" and it affects all the accounts under the same server, but, Is there any possibility to configure the WHM/cPanel to give different values to each client?

My server currently has 500 set for this parameter. However, I have some scripts that send out reminders and the number of emails will certainly exceed this limit. So this leads to some questions...
What will happen if my scripts try to send out more than the limit?
What happens when the limit is exceeded? Do the scripts "crash", or do they just keep running? Do the "over quota" emails just get discarded or do they get queued?
How does this affect performance? Or maybe it doesn't?
Does the email queue get clogged up if it has too many emails?
What could be bad about increasing the limit - say to 2000? Would this create performance problems for my server?
I have a couple sites that I'm hosting and I would prefer to keep the limit of 500.
However, how can I increase the limit for my own scripts (domains)?
Or, perhaps this option has nothing to do with performance and it's strictly in place as a security measure to prevent hosted accounts from spamming.
I searched for information concerning this issue and couldn't find anything. The cPanel/WHM forum doesn't say what the parameter is for, just how to set it.

I have Cpanel, with the "Prevent Nobody from sending emails" in the WHM>Tweak Settings enabled.
I want to force sendmail to use SMPT auth.. so that all mails sent are sent via SMPT and an authenticated POP user.
I guess this will help in limiting the "The maximum each domain can send out per hour" setting.

what happens to the emails sent in excess of "The maximum each domain can send out per hour" limit that you can set in root WHM?
Are they discarded or get queued up in Exim?

I will wanted to know if hmailserver lets configure the quantity of outgoing emails it is permitted in an hour or minutes. I have found this:
hMailServer is pre-configured to have high security when it comes to relaying and authentication so that no one can use your server to send spam messages.
But I do not know if It refers to what I want or to an antihack or something like that to protect my server.

We are setting up 100s of new domain names every day. We are only hosting a simple blog, in fact with our current setup we are on a HostGator Reseller account and we are just using one account meaning one single cPanel account.
We have a script that automatically runs when people sign up for our service, this script sets up an addon domain on that same single cPanel account with the same document root. Our modified wordpress blog simply looks at the HTTP_HOST in the config file and opens a separate database tables for every new domain name.
The problem we are running into is not the bandwidth usage, nor storage space. But simply the mass addon domains. The cPanel adddomain.html script seems to be getting ran so many times it is overloading the web server.
So I have read about some other people here WHT that are starting to use a new server software that uses a lot less server resources then WHM and cPanel. So I am wondering what hosting companies can provide that sort of a server.
Specifically:
Storage: A couple hundred GB
Bandwidth: 1000s of GB
Server software to run PHP scripts and mySQL databases
Ability to create 1000s of addon domains every day.
Does this need to be an array of servers?
We are ready to get moving on a deal now.

Got this strange issue here. Comcast customers cannot receive any emails sent from my server. With the others, most of the emails are being sent to a spam folder instead of inbox.
Serve is Centos 5 / Cpanel
I confirmed IP has proper reverse dns and is not blaclisted. I also setup SPF as well.

I am using couple of emails on my domain since 3 years. I am having a big amount of spam emails. If I use SpamAssassin™ in the Cpanel it will miss sometimes hotmail, yahoo emails etc.. If I disable it, I will continue receiving those spam emails. However, some of my clients uses free emails like hotmail and yahoo.

We use some spam blockers that come with cPanel but sometimes it feels like it isn't enough to block out all spam coming in and going out of the server. Anyone here have any experience with any other third party softwares that may be able to stop emails in its track basing it on the content of the email itself?

I would like to offer some good advice to people who Host thier sites with Hostgator or any other Webhosts who provide Cpanel. Please Check your "Mail" feature.
I just check all of my sites Mail in the Mail section.
All of my sites do not have webmail set up, but I was surprised to find tens of thousans of spam mails and I dont even have any email accounts set up!
This was causing me to get 'iNode" warnings that my account would be soon suspended and I should upgrade my site to Dedicated Hosting, something I cannot afford!
Go to [url]
Steps
1. Click on Mail
2. Click on Webmail
3. Click on Horde
4. Login
5. Click on Mail
SURPRISE! Do you too have thousands of Spams ... even if you dont even have an email account set up?
If you folder is full of thousands of Spams then do this...
6. Click on Folders
7. Tick Inbox
8. Choose Empy Folders from the Drop Down box above
9. Click Empty Selected Folders
10. Do this regularly before you get an email from Hostgator like this:

WARNING: gator85.hostgator.com: comscout: 63970 inodes
Server: gator85
User: xxxxx
Email: xxxxx(Owner)
iNodes: 63970 (warning)
Date: Sun Jul 27 00:22:59 CDT 2008
Email: xxxx
Account Name: xxxxx
Server: gator85.hostgator.com
iNodes (Files): 63970/50,000 (127.00%)
Hello,
To maintain the highest level of performance on our shared servers we have a maximum inode (file) limit of 50,000 inodes (files) per account. The size of the file does not matter, only the number of files. For example, a DVD image (say, 4.5gb) only counts as one inode, or file. Our limit, as outlined in our terms of service, is 50,000 files per account. We generally don't hold people strictly to this limit, but at the same time we expect our users to respect the limits of the system. When an account has hundreds of thousands of files, it significantly degrades overall disk performance, as each file on the disk must be tracked/indexed.
An easy analogy would be a table of contents or glossary for a book. If the book only has a few hundred pages, the index or glossary is likely to be small and easy to search. If the book has 5,000 pages, finding what you want might take significantly longer. The file system on a server works in a similar way, just on a larger scale. Our experience has shown that 50,000 files per account is a fair number, and accounts that exceed that by a significant amount cause disk performance issues. This message is to inform you that the listed account has significantly exceeded our limits for disk inodes/files and could potentially lead to disk issues.
It is also important to realize that accounts that exceed the inode (file) limit are not backed up by our courtesy weekly backup service, per section 7b of our Terms of Service. Of course, we advise every user to run their own backups to be safe. Accounts over our the 50,000 inode limit are bypassed so that backups can complete in a timely fashion for everyone. Otherwise, accounts with hundreds of thousands or more inodes will utilize more server resources than other accounts, and could lead to file system errors on our backup servers.
This account will be re-checked again in 7 days to verify it is below 50,000 files. If this account remains above the maximum inode limit after repeated checks, we'll have to review the situation further and advise a course of action. It is critical that one of the following actions take place before that happens:
a) reduce the number of inodes/files. This change must be permanent; if you have a high number of cache files or similar, and you expect them to naturally exceed the inode limit again in the future, the configuration must be changed to limit the total number of cached files.
If you are completely unaware of the source of the inodes, it may be that you have left your default mailbox enabled, and never cleared it. Over time, it can fill up with spam, consuming hundreds of thousands of inodes. If you have a catch-all enabled on your account, this can greatly increase the amount of mail/spam that our account receives and will raise your inode usage quickly unless routinely emptied. If you would like assistance clearing these folders from unwanted email or removing the catch-all from your account, please let us know and we would be happy to assist you.
The default mailbox is located at:
/home/xxxx/mail/cur
/home/xxxxx/mail/new
b) upgrade to dedicated service, where inode counts are no longer checked. In many cases, accounts that significantly exceed our inode/file limits have simply outgrown the shared environment, and a dedicated server is the logical choice. In many cases, the transfer from a shared to dedicated server will incur no charge. In rare situations, accounts with excessive numbers of accounts or users may require a fee; the transfer department would advise you of that fact prior to the transfer taking place. If you've read this far, it's clear you're serious about taking care of the issue and we can offer you 50% off off the first month's purchase of a dedicated server. To receive the discount, please:
- Reply to this email stating you'd like to upgrade. You will
automatically be assigned a ticket number, which will be
visible in the subject line. You may need to confirm your
email if this is the first time you've ever sent us a
ticket or emailed one of our departments.
- Order a dedicated server:
[url]
- Email sales@hostgator.com after placing your order. This
promotion is unadvertised, and must be manually approved.
You must reference the ticket # you receive (above) to
qualify for the discounted rate. This promotion only
applies to dedicated servers priced $ 219.00 or higher.
We thank you for taking the time to resolve this issue. If you have any questions or perhaps you are not sure what could be causing the high number of inodes, we can help you with that. Simply reply to this email and we will be more than happy to assist you.
As soon as I deleted all of my emails, guess what .... I already have 4 Spam emails, that is very quick!
I have 4 main sites with hostgator and this how much emails I have without knowing:
Site 1: 27,237 Spam Emails
Site 2: 43,438 Spam Emails
Site 3: 7,398 Spam Emails
Site 4: 63,972 Spam Emails
This is who one Spam was from:
To: myaccount@gator257.hostgator.com
So the spammers send the emails to gator257.hostgator.com and so forth!
That is crap! Surely they can fix it, as I say, I dont even have a email account in my Cpanel!

I can send e-mails out but many times they go directly to the recipient's SPAM box.
Also, my server cannot send to any company e-mail that uses MXLogic.net's services.
Going to [url]<--My server IP is on ZERO blacklists.
/etc/resolv.conf appears correct
/etc/hosts also appears correct
Is there something that I am overlooking?

I contacted the guys who I pay to watch over my linux Cpanel server and I do not think they know how to fix the problem. When I look in my mail queue manager in WHM I always see these spam type emails. I also see that my site IP gets blacklisted on:
[url]
I delist and then it appears again a couple of days later. My server is only used to send emails such as registrations and user notifications that they have subscribed to. Could anyone please tell me how to get rid of the spam?

we are receiving a new type of spam emails in most of the domains hosted on different servers. In this type of spam emails, the From address is the same as the To address and is of the user who is receiving the emails. For example, a@abc.com is sending email to a@abc.com which is not originating from the server. However, since the From Address is the same as the To address, it fools the antispam and the emails are delivered as genuine emails. Has anybody else faced the same problem lately? Does anybody have as workaround to stop these type of spam emails?

Emails generated by my site scripts go to the junk/spam folder of gmail/yahoo etc
I am using the Google Apps for email of my domain (means that I have pointed the MX records of my domain to Google) but the emails which are being generated from my site just use the server capabilities to generate the emails (means that the emails generated by script don't pass through Google email servers)
I suspect that this might be causing problems with spam tagging ? and what can I do to get around this
