How to limit emails sent through php???
Moderator: General Moderators
we need a solution for each user, each user will only be allowed to send something like 70 mails per day, quote from the forums:
any software able to do this? anything at all?
Thanks
each user is limited to about 100 emails per day through email address, need to limit each user to certain amount of php mail, not set for all members, but a setting that will apply to each user individually, hope this can be done and hope it makes sense lolThe final question....which our admins are exploring in great detail already. How do we limit number of emails sent through php scripts.....it is easy to limit number of emails sent from and email address on the server...that has already been done..... but how do you limit emails sent through php?....Do you know anyone with a specific solution to this specific problem?
any software able to do this? anything at all?
Thanks
I totally agree with the database idea...i would add that you can have information for each user that includes an autoincrement value, a timestamp of when the first email was sent and then keep track of the entries...not too hard. You could also keep in mind that you could use sessions to do the same, but i store sessions in the database so we are still back to where we started...database is the way to go d00d.
