Hi

IS there any method by which we can manipulate our SMTP to limit a user/domain from sending a limited amount of emails from his/her domain ?

Not an answer, but might as well comment till you get an answer from an expert :)

If you are talking about SPAM prevention - look into formmail. It's what most spammers use to send 1000s of emails. Update it or remove it if it's not needed/used.
