What does “Warning: 200 emails have just been sent …” mean?
If you receive an email with the subject "Warning: 200 emails have just been sent ...", it indicates that the daily outgoing email limit of your hosting package has been reached.
Possible situations
- Normal usage:
If you have indeed sent 200 emails, this warning is normal.
➔ The limit resets automatically every night at midnight.
- Unauthorized usage:
If you have not sent 200 emails, there may be a security issue or abuse.
What should you do?
- Change your password:
Immediately change the password of the affected email address.
➔ Use at least 16 characters with a mix of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols.
- Check your website:
Install available updates and remove unnecessary files, folders, plugins, and themes.
- Perform a virus scan:
Use the built-in virus scanner (cPGuard) available in your hosting package.
- Review log files:
Check your logs for suspicious activities, warnings, and errors.
- Analyze the warning email:
Read the warning carefully.
➔ References to your email address may indicate a leaked password.
