I read an article the other day about a poor fellow, a graphics artist, whose email domain was hijacked by a spammer and used to generate thousands and thousands of spam emails. The poor guy was inundated with hate mail as a result of the spam that was delivered from his domain and the incident nearly ruined his reputation and his business.
Is it possible to add a feature in control panel that would allow us to set a daily limit on the number of emails that could be sent from each mailbox? By default, it would be unlimited, but it would allow us to define a limit. I could probably set mine to as few as 10 and be just fine. But even if a I needed a higher daily limit, like 2 or 3 hundred, it would still serve as a way to limit the damage that could result from a scenario like the one that article describes. In the event I wanted to do an automated mailing of my own (customer mailings, etc.), I could simply up the limit, do the mailing, and then restore the limit to the value I normally use.
I don't know how practical this is, but it seems it would be a nice way to avoid some pretty nasty problems for Jodo's customers and for Jodohost itself.
