Email Control options in PrestaShop scripts & systems

[invest]

Hi,

 

I've installed Prestashop on my site and on the 3rd day my webhost suspended my hosting account saying that there was a case of "45 emails sent in less than a minute".

Fortunately, after follow-up they reinstated my hosting account, but have mentioned that possibly PHP scripts may be triggering those mails.

 

1) Can I know MAXIMUM how many mails can possibly be triggered by PrestaShop (through its internal scripts) for various processes (registration, sale, order, etc.)?

 

2) How can I prevent/select the ones which I feel will be necessary?

 

Thanks

you can manage mails under orders > states tab in back office.

this is the only one available section to select mails to send.

 

btw. you use simple mail() function or SMTP ?

i think that it will be much better if you will use SMTP

then you will be able to avoid situations like you had

Thanks for the response...I dont think Order Messages are anyways going to be useful for this.

 

Sorry for my intermediate technical knowledge, 

 

My domain is bought on GoDaddy I am using Zoho Mail for usual email communication for that domain. The site is hosted on 000webhost.

 

Now 000webshot has confirmed that the messages are being generated through PHP scripts, so I was looking for some guidelines on where all can I look at for limiting the no. of mails automatically being sent.

I am comfortable changing the PHP code, but not ery clear on the mail configuration, etc.

 

Any help will be really appreciated.

 

Thanks
