CENTOS 7.6 kvm v80.0.18 License: Solo I am attempting to limit the outbound email for just one email account. Since I have the solo license, it doesn't look like the instructions, here, work: How to Set Email Send Limits - cPanel Knowledge Base - cPanel Documentation Any suggestions on limiting outbound email for just one domain when using a solo license?

  no, you can set the limit just for one email account. Is either a cpanel account or globally.

  Ok. Got it. I thought so. Solo can't do this but the standard cpanel account can I gather.

  Hi @jeffschips This should work, I've tested in on a Solo server, is /etc/email_send_limits being updated with the addition you're making in /var/cpanel/users/$user?

  Ah! I see. I've found those files but don't know the correct syntax to limit just one email account. I do see the domain I wish to limit sending for. For example in the subject domain it currently shows: thisdomain.com: unlimited,unlimited,5 thisdomain.topleveldomain.com: unlimited,unlimited,5 What would be the change here to limit the number of outound emails. As well, I do notice in the cpanel solo license repeating domain listings, such as above the actual domain then an entry with the actual domain and the add-on domain. What's up with that? As for /var/cpanel/users/$user I see entries of domains and other settings and don't know what I'm supposed to input here. Thank you for the revelation!

  In /etc/email_send_limits it should be: #format DOMAIN: MAX_EMAIL_PER_HOUR,MAX_DEFER_FAIL_PERCENTAGE,MIN_DEFER_FAIL_TO_TRIGGER_PROTECTION domain.tld: 10,10,5
  So that's Domain: domain.tld: MAX_EMAIL_PER_HOUR: 10 MAX_DEFER_FAIL_PERCENTAGE: 10 MIN_DEFER_FAIL_TO_TRIGGER_PROTECTION: 5 In my file it looks like the following: [root@release ~]# cat /etc/email_send_limits #version 1.0 #format DOMAIN: MAX_EMAIL_PER_HOUR,MAX_DEFER_FAIL_PERCENTAGE,MIN_DEFER_FAIL_TO_TRIGGER_PROTECTION cptest.tld: 2,,5 *: 0,0,5
  This should get automatically added to the email_send_limits but in the event it doesn't you should be able to add it now. For /var/cpanel/users/$user you'd just need to add the following to set this per domain: MAX_EMAIL_PER_HOUR-cptest.tld=2
  2 being whatever you want the MAX_EMAIL_PER_HOUR to be Then run: /scripts/updateuserdomains
