Plugin: SMTP Limiter

These errors indicate a bad exim.pl file or a perhaps typographical error in the exim.conf file.

No, exim.pl original file && exim.pl patches (checked them already) are too old for the version of exim that I use (lastest) ...

Hi All,

I have this plugin running on several servers now and it looks fine.
However yesterday and today I received some tickets from customer complaining that the reached there limit which is not possible.

When I look into the exim logfile I see messages refused to send because of limit reached. The account name that is mentioned is NOT the account of that customer ?!

I raised the limit to skip this error for now, is there anyone that has this problem also ?

regards,
Michel.

I think it has to do that when an account with their own ip(not shared) than it fails and the mail is counted to antoher account ? Someone ?
 
In exim.pl in the check_limits function:

#find the curent user
# my $user = find_user()
my ($user) = @_;
# log_str("Checking user: '$user'\n");
if (!$user) { return 1; }

Is this correct ? Why is the find_user function disabled ? how can he find a user like this ?
 
Sorting

Hello everybody. I've succesfully installed this plugin but I've a problem.
It's possibile to sort by user, by number of sent message, etc?

How I can hack this plugin?

Thanks!

Well it started counting. I was doing something wrong

Now another problem
I can't recieve mails from any one i.e. hotmail, gmail etc.
One thing to note is. The mails are recieved on catch all i.e [email protected]
but if I create an email account i.e. [email protected] no mail is recieved for that account. Below is the error copied from mainlog

I change check_limit() in /etc/exim.pl to the code below, the function still check /etc/virtual/limit for global limit and /etc/virtual/limit.$name for each user limit.

I tested on my system work without error, If you test with this function please kindly report the error(s).

Code: 
sub check_limits
{
        my $count = 0;

        #find the current user
        $uid = find_uid();

        if (uid_exempt($uid)) { return "yes"; }

        my $name = "";
        my $email_limit = 0;
        if (($name = getpwuid($uid))) {

                if (-e "/etc/virtual/limit.$name") {
                        open (LIMIT, "/etc/virtual/limit.$name");
                        $email_limit = int(<LIMIT>);
                        close(LIMIT);
                } else {
                        open (LIMIT, "/etc/virtual/limit");
                        $email_limit = int(<LIMIT>);
                        close(LIMIT);
                }

                if ($email_limit > 0) {
                        $count = (stat("/etc/virtual/usage/$name"))[7];
                        if ($count > $email_limit) {
                                die("You ($name) have reach your daily email limit of $email_limit emails\n");
                        }

                        open (USAGE, ">>/etc/virtual/usage/$name");
                        print USAGE "1";
                        close (USAGE);
                        chmod (0660, "/etc/virtual/usage/$name");
                }
        }

        my $sender_address = Exim::expand_string('$sender_address');
        my $mid = Exim::expand_string('$message_id');

        log_bandwidth($uid,"type=email&email=$sender_address&method=outgoing&id=$mid");

        return "yes"
}

Is there a way to allow resellers to set limits on their own clients instead of an admin username having to make these changes? Or maybe a way to set all resellers default limits. Since we host free websites as well I set the default message count way low, 3 emails a day I think because we had some major spam issues and it would be impossible to log into the server all the time to track down all paid accounts and accounts owned by our resellers to raise their limits.
 
I followed the instructions and the exim log showed the following:

CentOS 5.2, clear DA install, SMTP Limiter install.

Can you help me with this error?

Doesn't really work. I'm still ending up with the following:

And it just keeps growing, even when I disable smtp access for all users.
