To protect users from abuse, SMTP has an allowance on the number of messages that can be sent of 500 messages an hour per IP address, or 600 messages a day (24 hours) per user.
These Web Mail allowances are well above what an average email user requires. In the event that you frequently exhaust your daily allowance, please our technical support department at (626) 444-9111 ext. 29. top
