  In response to your question as far as I know this is only possible at the account level [domain.tdl] not user [name@domain.tdl], in this case the entire account is blocked once the limit is reached for the period of 1 hour. WHM "Home" Account Functions "Modify an Account - Maximum Hourly Email by Domain Relayed. - Maximum percentage of failed or deferred messages a domain may send per hour. I hope someone else can provide a better answer to your question and I hope I have helped!

  It's a good idea to restrict emails on a per server basis, too.

  You can restrict Mails per hour limit in WHM > Tweak settings > Mail Tab If you are running an Shared Environment you can give 200 to 300 Mails per hour per cPanel

  You can suspend a single email account from sending email automatically with some newer (v74) settings in WHM>>Server Configuration>>Tweak Settings - Monitor the number of unique recipients per hour to detect potential spammers. [QUOTE]The system will monitor the number of emails to unique recipients that each individual email user sends. If this number exceeds the specified threshold, the system will send a notification.
  - Select the action for the system to take on an email account when it detects a potential spammer. [QUOTE]The system will automatically take this action on every email account that it detects as a potential spammer. To detect spammers, the system monitors the number of emails to unique recipients that each individual user sends.
  

  • Take no action default
  • Hold outgoing mail
  • Reject outgoing mail

  - Number of unique recipients per hour to trigger potential spammer notification. [QUOTE]The system will send a notification when any email account sends email to more than the specified number of recipients in one hour. Email sent by mailman is exempt from this detection.
