Spam Block
Spam Block prevents a faulty Event Rule from sending many emails or SMS messages to one single recipient.
A typical scenario you want to avoid is that larger email providers like Gmail, Yahoo, and Hotmail will block your email server if you start to send hundreds of emails to one address in a shorter time.
Another scenario to be careful with is sending a larger number of SMSes, which is both annoying and expensive.
Usage
The following features are accessible under Main Menu () > Site Admin > Account Settings.
You can set the number of emails per hour that are allowed to be sent to one email address. The default is 30. If more than 30 are sent, no more emails will be sent for one hour. GpsGate will also send a notification to the administrator's email address with the information.
SMS
You can set the number of SMS per hour that are allowed to be sent to one phone number. The default is 10. If more than 10 SMS messages are sent, no more SMS messages will be sent for one hour. GpsGate will also send a notification to the administrator's email address with the information.

Blocked Emails
In the Main Menu () > Site Admin > Logs> Email Logs, you will see which email address is temporarily blocked. Here, we can also view which event rule caused the email notifications, in the Trigger column. In addition to this, we can also view the Application, Subject, the reason for the notification (in the Sender column) and the Status.
Blocked SMSes
Under Main Menu () > Site Admin > Diagnostics > System Tasks > Select '_SmsNotification' in the 'Select Command' drop-down, you can see different statuses of the SMS notification (such as Delivered, Pending, Permanent Failure, and Queued), Sender User, Sending Time, etc., Login to the application and disable the event rule, or change it to generate fewer notifications.
