Is Heliohost Support phpBB3 forum??

I have an account on the server heliohost stevie and I install phpBB3 forum.

but because I am afraid my account getting banned so I'll disabled the email feature on my forum board.

Like this picture :

 

 

what I want to ask:

 

1. Can I activate feature Send e-mail? I only need it for feature LOST PASSWORD

2. How many email can be sent in 1 day or 1 hours? so I'm not getting banned from heliohost

3. How can I limit the number of emails sent in one day on phpbb forum?

 

Please Help me

Thanks For Reply

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.

well ok..

what if I enable SMTP email (I use gmail or yahoo smtp)

if I use the SMTP function? fixed limit of 50 emails per day?

or if I use and activate the feature send SMTP email

then my account would not got banned ?

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.

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.

oh ok

I did not enable the Send Email

because I do not want my account got suspend or banned

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.
