The story is ....
I get an order for a large reseller plan and do my normal fraud screen find the IP is in Israel the address on the credit card is New Mexico, so I have already thrown red flags around it and am talking to MC authoristion center when my live chat goes off. Guess who is on the other end?

So anyone that gets an order from Rafael in New Mexico check it twice, I called the owner of the card it was stolen and cancelled yesterday.

Monte: Hello, how may I help you today?

Damn that sucks :angry:

read from bottom to top even? Confusing! :)

I figured that I would occasionally get a carder here and there so I elected to process all my orders by hand.

I use Cpanel with WHM. I set a bandwidth valve in the beginning so the customer can't simply upload a few binaries and post to a bunch of boards for people to start downloading. The next thing I am Working on is an email valve that will not allow over 50 emails to be mailed in one quick shot. Very similar to what Hypermart uses to control someone from using their services to mass email a 100k list with some small script in php or perl.

I am using sendmail and I am not bad at configuring sendmail for my purposes, but if anyone can save me some time with modifying sendmail so that I will be able to accomplish this task easily, I would be greatful.

I would like to have a system that allows me to limit the amount of outgoing email in a new account with the added feature of being able to modify that setting at any time for any given account. Or at least turn it on or off. WHM does not account for this and therefore I figure that I must modify SendMail in some way to accomodate this.

I have had conversations like the one above with potential customers and when I get that funny feeling about them, basically, I blow them off. Make it tougher for them to get my service, make them do phone verification, etc....

Thanks in Advance,

Robert
