Domain Limits

Set how many emails each domain can send per hour.

Use OpenAdmin > Emails > Domain Limits to access it.

Every domain gets the hourly email limit of its owner's plan. The limits are enforced by Postfwd, so it has to be enabled in Emails > Settings. A domain without a rule can send any number of emails.

Domains Table​

Each row is one domain with its owner, the emails sent this hour, its hourly limit and the Postfwd rule ID. Search by domain or user, filter by owner, and click a column name to sort by it.

The bar next to Sent this hour turns yellow at 80% of the limit and red once it's reached. The count comes from Postfwd and is shared by all domains of the same user.

When a domain hits its limit, a Limit hit label appears. Click it to show the last lines from the mail log where Postfwd rejected that domain's emails.
