Hi Chirpy

Any chance to get an alert email in such case ?

A customer was sending thousands of emails but I didn't get any alert email because of this error...

Thank you !

Well, this flooding/looping error kinda defeats the purpose of the script alert setting.
I'm monitoring numbers of cpanel servers, all running csf and I no longer get the script alert emails

Could you please review it ?

I'll look at issuing an alert, but the nature of the problem does make this difficult to control.
