“What will happen if I send more email per hour or per day than my ISP allows?” Not unlike speed limits on highways, byways and motorways around the world, email sending limits establish a control to keep everything moving along smoothly.
They exist simply to control the level of email traffic being processed, to ensure that the mail server will be available to support all of its users whenever they need to send email and to prevent spam from being sent through their system. Hourly and daily email sending limits are not nefarious. Why do ISPs, web hosting and free email providers have email sending limits? These hourly and daily email sending limits are established independently and vary from one email provider to another. Posting this as a public ticket in case anyone else has encountered same problem and has a suggested workaround (other than the obvious ones, ie to increase my quota and/or not to operate anywhere near my quota limit).Not all outgoing SMTP mail servers were created equal, and how much email you can send each hour or each day will be determined by the particular outgoing SMTP mail server that you use to relay your messages.Įach ISP, web hosting, and free email provider establishes its own email sending policy which outlines specifically how much email you can send through their outgoing SMTP mail server per connection, per hour or per day. Riseup folks: What do you think? Are any of the above doable?
However, it appears that (at least in squirrelmail) Trash counts towards my quota - so I end up going over anyway, which is frustrating.ġ) Could we change the system so Trash doesn't count towards the quota (which I realise could bring its own problems if people use it as a loophole to get infinite storage, but I don't know how likely that really is).Ģ) Could there be a filter action that immediately deletes a message instead of simply moving it to a folder - or, if it's easier, a filter action that moves a message to Trash and then immediately empties the Trash.ģ) Can I set a filter which rejects emails which are above a certain size?Ĥ) Could we change the system so that the email which (would) actually take me over quota is rejected, instead of the weird system we currently have where the large email that takes me over the quota is accepted, and then a bunch of small emails arriving afterwards are then rejected because I'm full. The best solution I can come up with is to set up a mail filter (since this particular variety of spam is easy to identify) which puts it immediately in the trash. I occasionally get spam with large attachments, taking me over quota.
