Re: limit number of recipients for a group of senders

Do i understand correctly that you want to limit few users, and each mail sent by these users can have only limited recipients? This could be done by writing a simple iRedAPD plugin, but i'm not aware of any Postfix parameter for this.

Re: limit number of recipients for a group of senders

Hi,
there is throttling rule per user in  iredadmin-pro v3.9 . Is it work per user? Can I set custom number for a user in "Number of max outbound emails" to limit number of send mail per e-mail?

Re: limit number of recipients for a group of senders

It's possible to improve existing "throttle" plugin to limit recipients per message:
https://github.com/iredmail/iRedAPD/blo … hrottle.py

- SQL table "iredapd.throttle" should add a new column to store this limit.
- plugin should query the limit from SQL db and apply the limit.

Would you like to try it yourself with Python 3? Or, would you like to financially sponsor us to make it happen?

before that, I want to know about per-user throttling in iredadmin-pro. Does it work?

Yes it works. But it doesn't limit the number of recipients per message.
