Hello,

You might install blockcracking from DirectAdmin:

- https://docs.directadmin.com/other-hosting-services/preventing-spam/outgoing-spam.html

and/or set the user to limit 1 email per day:

echo 1 > /etc/virtual/user_limit

where user_limit should be renamed to bob_limit for user account of bob
