cPanel bandwidth warning emails - how to stop them?

    Is there a way to limit the warning emails that cPanel sends out when an account is close to hitting its bandwidth limit?

    Towards the end of the month, I get about 50 warnings each day.

    In WHM, Tweak settings,

    There is a few lines that say:

    Email users when they have reached 70% of their bandwidth
    Email users when they have reached 75% of their bandwidth
    Email users when they have reached 80% of their bandwidth etc...

    make sure those are uncheck.

    I can't find the page that allows me to adjust those settings... where is it? :confused:

    Is it possible that my host has disabled it?

    You have to have root access to change them.. So I would either ask your host to disable some of the email warnings or upgrade your plan so you do not get close to your bw limit and then you will not get those emails.

    If I can't change it myself (which I don't think I can), I'll just live with it - it's not worth upgrading. If I ask my host to disable some warnings I'm likely to get no warnings at all. I'm enjoying sailing close to the wind (or whatever the saying is) when it comes to my bandwidth allocation :)

    This has been a heavy traffic month for me, so hopefully next month I won't have all my accounts hitting their 80% limit at once.
