You are a crack, it indeed work, it wasn't working for me the php scripts earlier as I was testing it with roundcube using the ww-data user, however it indeed blocks or limits connections for the entire account, useful when users are using old wordpress instances, outdated plugins or nulled content.
Good job.

dpeca,
Can you please check if I got it correctly ?
What is this line ?? where to put it ?
nano /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template
# inside the section that says
# Towards the end of the section add the following text
Code: Select all
# for PHP scripts, limit per Vesta user
acl_not_smtp:
deny message = Web site of $authenticated_id user is sending too much emails - rate overlimit = $sender_rate / $sender_rate_period
ratelimit = 20 / 1h / $authenticated_id
accept
Did I get it all correct ?

To Summarize it all, here is what you have to do to get it all working. I had to read both threads until I get it right.
File to edit: /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template
Find:
Before, add:
Find:
After, add:
Code: Select all
# for PHP scripts, limit per vesta user
acl_not_smtp:
deny message = Web site of $authenticated_id user is sending too much emails - rate overlimit = $sender_rate / $sender_rate_period
ratelimit = 20 / 1h / $authenticated_id
accept
Find:
After, add:
Code: Select all
# for SMTP authenticated users, limit per email account
deny message = Email account $authenticated_id is sending too much emails - rate overlimit = $sender_rate / $sender_rate_period
ratelimit = 20 / 1h / $authenticated_id
File to edit: /etc/roundcube/defaults.inc.php
Change the settings in red to match those posted here.
$config['smtp_server'] = 'localhost';
// SMTP port (default is 25; use 587 for STARTTLS or 465 for the
// deprecated SSL over SMTP (aka SMTPS))
$config['smtp_port'] = 25;
// SMTP username (if required) if you use %u as the username Roundcube
// will use the current username for login
$config['smtp_user'] = '%u';
// SMTP password (if required) if you use %p as the password Roundcube
// will use the current user's password for login
$config['smtp_pass'] = '%p';

A small clarification I need... Say I want to create MULTIPLE ACLs for acl_not_smtp:
I would only once define:
correct ??
Then
how do I define Multiple Acls per hour, per minute, per second like this ??
Code: Select all
acl_not_smtp_s:
deny message = Web site of $authenticated_id user is sending too much emails - rate overlimit = $sender_rate / $sender_rate_period
ratelimit = 20 / 1s / $authenticated_id
accept
Code: Select all
acl_not_smtp:
deny message = Web site of $authenticated_id user is sending too much emails - rate overlimit = $sender_rate / $sender_rate_period
ratelimit = 200 / 1h / $authenticated_id
accept
Am I doing it correctly ??
Sorry the Exim documentation is too damn reference only, no real examples to show real syntax. Please help me for this.

Only one
and then:
Code: Select all
acl_not_smtp:
deny message = Web site of $authenticated_id user is sending too much emails - rate overlimit = $sender_rate / $sender_rate_period
ratelimit = 20 / 1s / $authenticated_id
deny message = Web site of $authenticated_id user is sending too much emails - rate overlimit = $sender_rate / $sender_rate_period
ratelimit = 200 / 1h / $authenticated_id
accept
