  • Limit Email per day

    From Tracker1@1:103/705 to DOVE-Net.Synchronet_Sysops on Mon Aug 17 04:53:41 2020
    Feature idea... limiting the number of emails a user can send per day.

    I know I *could* set a cost for email, then create a script to re-set
    user credits each day... but thinking it might be a useful feature in
    general in order to limit the damage a rogue account can cause.

    Similar limits to global posts per day might be useful as well.

    These are already configurable per security-level in SCFG->System->Security Leval Values:
    +[*][?]--------------------------+
    | Security Level 50 Values |
    |--------------------------------|
    | |Time Per Day 480 |
    | |Time Per Call 240 |
    | |Calls Per Day 50 |
    | |Email Per Day 20 |
    | |Posts Per Day 30 |
    | |Lines Per Message 200 |
    | |Free Credits Per Day 50M |
    | |Expire To Level 0 |
    +--------------------------------+

    I had the same concern; there's actually a configurable limit based on access level. I think it's listed as "netmail per day" or something like that.
