Any ideas how to limit a clients out going emails?
Knowledgebase is there for a reason.

# SET SOME MEANINGFUL LIMITS
# OPTIONAL MODIFICATIONS:
# These defaults work for us; you may wish to modify them
# for your environment
message_size_limit = 20M
smtp_receive_timeout = 5m
smtp_accept_max = 100
message_body_visible = 3000
print_topbitchars = true
deliver_queue_load_max = 5
smtp_connect_backlog = 50
split_spool_directory = yes
Gee another smart ass reply on a DA forum, who would guess.
I guess you didn't read and apply the knowledgebase article.
Well I could have said "Gee another dumb ass question that has already been answered here a thousand times" but I didn't.
And what does the /etc/virtual/usage directory say?
smtp_accept_max = 100
It cannot say nothing unless the permissions on it are wrong. It will at least have the *.bytes files.
This limits incoming connections.

To enable this limit, simply add the number of emails you'd likely to allow per day to the /etc/virtual/limit file.
I don't want to piss you off even more but if you do follow the article from the knowledgebase, it works like a charm :
So create the simple file, put "100" into it and you will be fine
There is an old saying, ""Never assume, for it makes an ASS out of U and ME."
... very frustrating to answer the same questions over and over again.
What we expect of people before they ask a question here:
1. Search the knowledgebase
2. Search the versions system.
3. Search the forum
4. Use Google to search the entire DirectAdmin site which is often better than the regular forum search.
As it turns out MaxPower did not actually save the limit file.
