Alright I have tried to follow this and I'm still having problems.   So here is what I did:

I created a group called "highvolume"

I assigned that group to each user that sends out newsletters.

I then set g_user_send_max for the group highvolume to 3000 messages.  

	ini = g_user_send_max group="highvolume" max="3000" 

I removed the users from  g_user_send_white.

I set user_send_max to 500 which using your guidance is a number that nobody should exceed in one day.

	ini = user_send_max "500" 

I also have g_user_send_warning  set to 450.    That way I get an email if someone exceeds 450.  

	ini = g_user_send_warning "450"

I've used the command "tellmail reload" to reload the ini.

The user in question receives the following error in the log:   

user_send_max: HIDDEN@omain.com) 500 > 500, 550 User send limit reached, user setting or g_user_send_ip
smtp:[10.112.36.72] Out: 550 User send limit, g_user_send_ip HIDDEN@omain.com) 500/500 10.112.36.72
I've checked and g_user_send_ip is NOT even defined in the ini file.   

Any ideas?

Thanks so much
Scott
