The Error

When sending large amounts of mail via the Atmail webmail client, the following error message pops up: "Message Denied – Your IP address has sent the maximum number of messages per day. To reduce the possibility of spam, your outgoing message has been blocked."

The Fix

Atmail is configured to allow a maximum of 100 outgoing messages per email user, per day. If for whatever reason it needs to be increased, run the following command to edit the Atmail configuration file: 

vi /var/www/atmail/libs/Atmail/Config.php

Locate a line with the value "filter_max_msgs", and edit the 100 to match your requirements. Once done, save the file and future connections to Atmail will use this new sending limit.
