This response simply explains the error message. Turning off safe mode can compromise the security level on your server.
You should discuss this issue with the author of the plugin.
There's a program running under the user who's UID is 100, but the file /etc/virtual/limit is owned by the user who's UID is 501. This is not compatible with safe mode and the way you've implemented PHP.

Sorry, guys.
It seems bundled exim.pl was still incompatible with actual DirectAdmin's exim.conf.
Please download latest version (0.943) if someone still need it.
Hope, i finally fixed that issue.

I install this plugin. In the directadmin, admin section, I see message count of all users on the server. But message count not clears up every day - message only counting and writing it into the "today messages". On the "yesterday messages" - always 0.
And the size of the messages not counting at all.
Set everything on instruction, checked twice.
Please help, thanks.

Make sure you have following line in your crontab:
0 0 * * * root /usr/local/directadmin/plugins/SMTP_Limiter/scripts/reset_limits.sh
0 0 * * * root /usr/local/directadmin/plugins/SMTP_Limiter/scripts/reset_limits.sh
Thanks!
I'm run this script, messages count for today - 0, and for yesterday - 0... I hope, at 12pm all work fine.
PS Count of the size not working at all... but this function not seriously needed.

Make sure you have "set acl_c0 = ..." line under
accept hosts = +relay_hosts
and under every accept statement where "authenticated = *" is used.

Hi ClayRabbit,
I just tested out and found the followings:
1. When SMTP is disabled for a user, php mail is also disabled at the same time but not just SMTP, which is not expected, as this blocks the customer from using webmail or php mail function in their scripts.
2. The "message count" only counts mail sent to a different domain than the sender. Mails sent to another user of the same domain as the sender is not counted.
3. Is the original mail count and daily mail limit function (/etc/virtual/usage/) disabled by the SMTP limiter?
4. How to change the default setting value for new users from "On" to "Off"?
Moreover, is it possible to make the plugin to disable "SMTP" and "ALL MAIL" as separate options? "ALL MAIL" would mean everything including SMTP, php mail, etc.
Thanks!

I have been busy to try to make this work with the newest exim version but I keep getting problems with some combinations.
The I moved back to the original exim.pl and exim.conf and changed a few lines in exim.pl. I want to limit all my servers in sending mail and only allow a few users to send more (or less).
So the /etc/virtual/limit file is for all users
And the /etc/_virtual/limit_DAaccount is the exception. Be aware to change owner of that file to mail.mail.
This is very simple and it works for me now.
This is how I did that (in check_limits function):
my $name="";
my $email_limit = 0;
$name = getpwuid($uid);
if (open (LIMIT, "/etc/virtual/limit_$name"))
{
$email_limit = int(<LIMIT>);
close(LIMIT);
}
if ($email_limit <= 0)
{
open (LIMIT, "/etc/virtual/limit");
$email_limit = int(<LIMIT>);
close(LIMIT);
}

No, you can use it without the plugin.
No, you can use the default DA exim.conf or the spamblocker conf.

Just a quick note to clarify: the default DirectAdmin exim.conf file IS an early version of my SpamBlocker configuration.

Is my response still applicable? Yes. I've not released SpamBlocker3 as stable, and DirectAdmin won't use it until it's marked as stable, because I continue to update it.

This plugin does not work well for me, so I used another way to achieve controlling SMTP access for users. You may take a look at the post http://www.directadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=38252 if need.
