account just send 100 email, set to 200 ?!

[TestUser]

Hey all...
i have set max 100 emails per user
but for particular user i have changed the limit to 201
but... still when the user sends 150 emails... the accout gets blocked and sends the message of limit 100 triggered
do i need to restart maybe something if i change this setting?

There are 3 different levels on which to set email send limits:
1) Server wide: Admin level -> Administrator Settings
2) Per user -> Admin level -> Click on user -> 'Max limit user can set per E-mail'
3) Per email-account -> the one you increased

Check if any of the other limits are still set to 100.

Oh disregard the above, it's probably blockcracking blocking the account, you will want to increase the BC_LIM limit here:

YES you are correct!
there is a conf file for blockcracking
/etc/exim.blockcracking/variables.conf
i have made changes to file
/etc/exim.blockcracking/variables.conf.custom
will see

Final question...
what happenes to rest emails?
lets say my setting is
100 emails / 1 hour
and user sends 150 emails...
so i guess 100 emails will be send...
what happenes with other 50?
they just... disaperead? or?

They might be kept in the queue for resending after the limit resets.
Check the exim queue to be sure.
