    Hi, how can i prevent to a user try using my smtp to send mail.
    using different sender like:
    juliana@hotmail.com

    i think this will prevent some atacks when the clients have virus in the computer and virus using smtp of my server .

    Only allow SMTP authenticated scripts to run on your server. function like php mail() does not require SMTP authentication.

    You can disable this function by preventing nobody user to send emails from WHM. Go to WHM -> Tweak settings -> check the checkbox "Prevent the user "nobody" from sending out mail to remote addresses"

    Not sure you really can do that. The best option is to limit the max per hour and enable all of the extended logging. When they do start to send out you can easily track it down.

    You can set the maximum emails per hour limit from WHM -> Tweak settings.
