how do I set hourly mail limits on the console?

**SoftDux** · 05-13-2011 02:56 AM

Hi,

Does anyone know how to set the hourly mail limits for an account on the console?

I need to change hourly mail limits for about 200 domains on a shared server, but not the other domains to a lower level.

I checked out /scripts/update_email_limits but it doesn't give me any options to change the value

Hello

The hourly mail limits are controlled with the following parameters in the /var/cpanel/users/username file for each account:

Code:

MAX_EMAIL_PER_HOUR=#
MAX_EMAIL_PER_HOUR-domain.com=#

Once those parameters have been edited, you should run the following commands:

Code:

/scripts/updateuserdomains
/scripts/update_email_limits

I also suggest reading the following threads, which contain more detailed information on this topic:

Max emails limit is per domain or per cpanel account?

Thank you.

Thanx Michael,

Do you know if anyone has a script that could update a list of domains's details? Like I said, I need update about 200 domains
