Make an sg address unlimited?

[eitan]

Is there any way to allow an unlimited number of email to an existing SG address after that address was created with a fixed number?

Note: I'm not interested in creating exclusive senders. I want to accept mail at this address from many senders for a limited amount of time.

Thank you,

Eitan

No. But why not create a script that resets the counter to 20 each time a mail arrives?

You may have to... and use your own disposable-address as the exclusive sender; after you're done you'll need to remove the exclusive sender

Q. Is there a way to give an address that allows the initial sender to send an unlimited number of messages, but eats mail from anyone else ('exclusive sender')?

Also, if it's the "to" address that is unique for a particular mailing list you want to use, that will work just as well here (just don't put the disposable address itself here, of course, since that would have the effect of allowing an unlimited number of messages from anyone).

please don't do this casually -- it's a lot more expensive to forward a message than it is to "eat" it, and the ratio of eaten to forwarded messages has to stay high for our servers to continue to support a bunch of users.

We had some users script a bunch of addresses (a no-no to begin with), and had them all forwarding all messages -- it got to where a few users were using almost all the system resources, and we we had to disable the accounts to keep the service going.
