Everybody who owns a server face Spamming issues resulting server IP being blacklisted. To overcome this situation, an option is to limit outgoing emails from the dedicated server<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Login to your server’s WHM as root. Access Main >> Server Configuration >> Tweak Settings. Look for “Max hourly emails per domain<\/strong>“.\u00a0 It is the maximum number of emails each domain can send out per hour. By default it is set to unlimited which is a high risk. You can click the Radio Button just below it, limit it to the one you want. Click on Save & you are done. Our shared hosting plans<\/a> offer 500 emails per domain per hour<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This will limit the emails being sent from somemailaccount@domain.com. But, there are scripts which send emails using nobody@hostname.com OR cPaneluser@domain.com. This is possible using scripts in php, perl etc. To overcome this, you need to enable SMTP Authentication. SMTP AUTH<\/strong> as the name says, is a method to send emails using authentication mechanism. Email won’t be sent using a script if it is not authenticated with correct Username & Password.<\/p>\n

To enable it, you need to add php mail to disable function in php.ini. Doing this, every user who uses a contact form OR script to send emails, will need to enable SMTP AUTH in the scripts. Contact any of our support representative<\/a> & they will assist you with enabling it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
