[exim] How to Change the behaviour of Exim when over max ema…

Hi All,

I am running Exim with Cpanel/WHM, and I am wondering how to chagne the behavious of exim Discarding message if a user is over the max emails per hour setting, to queue the messages instead. Here is the pertinent code from exim.pl see bolded section specifically.


#logsmtpbw here
my $now = time();
$domain =~ s/[^\w\.\-]//g;
#we just can't trust user input
my $message_size = Exim::expand_string('$message_size');

   if ($domain ne "") {
      my $maxmails = 0;

      open(CF,"/var/cpanel/cpanel.config");
      while(<CF>) {
         next if (/^#/);
         s/\n//g;
         my($var,$value) = split(/=/, $_);
         if ($var eq "maxemailsperhour") {
            $maxmails = int($value);
         }
      }
      close(CF);

      open(CPM,"/var/cpanel/maxemails");
      while(<CPM>) {
         s/\n//g;
         my($mdomain,$mmax) = split(/=/);
         if ($mdomain eq $domain) {
            $maxmails = int($mmax);
         }
      }
      close(CPM);

      if ($maxmails > 0) {
         my $nummailsinhour = readbacktodate("/usr/local/apache/domlogs/$domain-smtpbytes_log");
         if ($nummailsinhour > $maxmails) {
            die "Domain $domain has exceeded the max emails per hour. Message discarded.\n";
         }
      }

How can i change this so that it queued instead of discarded.

Thanks

I think you'll be better off asking this question on a Cpanel/WHM list,
because although Exim offers the functionality to use Perl to do Clever
Things, the actual Perl scripts are being provided by someone else.

That said - do you know where in your Exim configuration this is being
called, and could you give us a clue as to that chunk of config? Whether
you can in fact reject, defer or queue rather depends on where the perl
function is called from...
