Is it suitable to set an email limit in WHM?

[Elliott]

hello please help me with my question

[Colton Abbe]

Yes, you can.
On an hourly basis, you can establish a limit.
Sending a large number of emails may be regarded as spam, and the email's status may suffer as a result. So it becomes necessary to set limits on the emails.

Some servers will even reject receiving emails from your server if your email reputation is bad, and the emails will be rebounded.

How to set the limit?

[Jake_J]

OkI will provide the procedure:
There are two methods:
1. Server-wide limit.
2. Individual account limit.

1. Server-wide email limit
The steps to set the hourly email limit in this way are listed below.
1) Log in to the WHM.
You can log in to the WHM by appending the WHM port number following a “:” to the hostname of the server or the IP address of the server. If you’ve not pointed the hostname of the server to the IP address of the server by adding appropriate “A” records, logging in with the hostname will not work. The IP address of a VPS can be found in your my. Interserve portal located at https://my.interserver.net >> VPS >> View VPS.
To login to the WHM with hostname, please enter https://your.hostname.tld:2087
To login to WHM with the IP address, please enter https://1.1.1.1:2087 (Replace “1.1.1.1” with the IP address of the server).
2) Once logged into the WHM, please go to ‘Tweak Settings’ under the section ‘Server Configuration’.
3) Locate and go to the tab “Mail”
4) You can set the desired value in the text box next to the “Max hourly emails per domain”. Please remember to select the radio button near the text box, so that you can write into the box. To disable the limit and allow the accounts to send unlimited emails, please select the radio button “Unlimited”.
5) When the desired value is entered, please click on the button ‘Save’ at the bottom.
2. Individual account limit.
There is another way to set email limits. This can be done by modifying individual cPanel accounts. Please note that this will affect the particular cPanel account on which we are setting the limit. Other accounts will be able to send emails as configured in the tweak settings as we’ve seen above.
To apply the limits by modifying a cPanel account, please follow the below steps.
1)log in to the WHM. (You could refer to the instruction on the above method to login to WHM).
2) Go to “Modify an Account” under the section “Account Functions”
3) Select the account on which you want to set the email limit and click on the ‘Modify’ button.
4) Enter the desired value in the text box as shown in the sc shot.
Please remember to select the radio button near the text box, so that you can write into the box. To disable the limit and allow the accounts to send unlimited emails, please select the radio button “Unlimited”. The limits should be below or equal to the limit set on the tweak settings.
5) Once the changes are made, please click the on ‘the Save’ button.
