Limit emails per hour per domain

[joni]

Hallo, in Centos 7 what file should be dited instead thi File to edit: /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template

and are the steps the same?

[dpeca]

/etc/exim/exim.conf

Steps are the same.

[ServerHost]

How to do to limit by domain, in the same way as it is done in cpanel? This script only limits the per-user and email account. Not limited by domain.

Also it has a problem it limits the emails of the root user and admin.

File: /etc/exim/exim.conf
Section: acl_check_mail

deny message = "Slowdown"
log_message = "Ratelimit overload"
ratelimit = 60 / 1h / strict / $sender_host_address

[MAN5]

1. $sender_address_domain > will limit per domain.
2. $sender_address > Will limit according to the email send authenticated user.
(i.e) if you use sendmailer/PHPmailer - it will take the hosting account name as a sender to count.
If you use SMTP auth (like outlook/thunderbird etc..) - the sender email address as SMTP auth - the email-ID will be counted.

[ServerHost]

How to exclude server hostname from limit?

Do not limit e-mails from daemon@hostname, root@hostname, admin@hostname, xxxxxx@hotname

[MAN5]

Just a simple sample:
#for PHP scripts, sendmailer, phpmailer, limit per domain
acl_not_smtp:
deny message = $reply_address Sending too much emails - rate overlimit = $sender_rate / $sender_rate_period
senders = !lsearch;/server-path-to-file/exim-whitelist
ratelimit = 60 / 60m / strict / $reply_address
accept

And create a file '/server-path-to-file/exim-whitelist' >>> put your prime emails. (eg) [email protected], [email protected]

Thanks but it did not work.

I believe that this should be implemented in the default Vesta configuration. Maybe more loose limits but it shouldn't be left unlimited. What do you think?
