Auto suspend email account when DA says "Warning xxx mails have just been sent by"

Hi

Auto suspend email account when DA says "Warning xxx mails have just been sent by"

Can i write hook script pre , post to check ?

I think this will greatly help reduce the problem of IP Hotmail blacklist.
Example a problems : spam, leaked password, PC infected with a virus.

We limit the amount of mails which can be send, so they are not able to send any mail after that anymore.

Most of these are indeed caused by leak scripts etc. so php mail() is used to spam.

You can use a script limit on that and a threshold, check this:

All directadmin.conf values | Directadmin Docs

DirectAdmin Knowledge Base

docs.directadmin.com

Also check the parse parse_php_mail_log_at_limit a little lower.

This way you can also easily block scripts sending spam.

By the way... you are asking it wrongly. It's not x days. Because if somebody is sending X days you are way too late anyway.
So I would change the request to "auto suspend email account when DA says xxx mails have just been sent by". Like in your title here.
It hasn't anything to do with x days.

Hi @Richard G
Thank you so much for suggestion : )

Actually, the issue is not only from PHP

Another for example,
Sending from Microsoft Outlook in cases email user computer is infected with malware or viruses.

If a large volume of emails are sent within several consecutive days ,The domain owner has not made any corrections,
we should automatically suspend that email account.

It's hard to do that. It's better to send a low limit for smtp mails and then make an exception for accounts who need larger e-mail traffic. That can be easily done.
As said, if some account is spamming for a couple of days, you're just too late. Sometimes it even takes 1 or 2 mail burst on a day to get into the spam block of for example Hotmail.

Which is why the warning options are in place in DA when a certain amount of mail is sent. To prevent getting into spamlist you need to respond as soon as possible and suspend the user yourself.

So suspending after a couple of days won't really do much good for preventing to get into an RBL or Microsoft or Gmail blacklist.

However, maybe some have the same opinion as you and they now can upvote your idea.

And maybe as you said, something like that for suspending, can be created via a pre or post hook or something.
