Ice IT Support Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 There is a limit of 50 emails per day. I don't think enabling the lost password emails will cause problems, unless you have 50+ users forgetting their password each day Yes, HelioHost supports phpBB3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice IT Support Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 If you use another email server, the email limit does not apply. However, you can still be suspended for causing high server load. You should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice IT Support Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 You can't monitor your individual server load. If you feel you are causing high load, you can create a topic to ask an admin to check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kucing Posted November 24, 2012 Author Share Posted November 24, 2012 oh ok I did not enable the Send Emailbecause I do not want my account got suspend or banned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice IT Support Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 A suspension isn't the end of the world, it is our way of saying, "Hey, you need to calm down a bit." A suspension is our way of notifying you. The problem is we can't tell legit content from malicious content, so a suspension may seem harsh to some, but it really is not. My suggestion is to try it. If there is a problem, we will let you know. No harm done, no big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
