Abstract
An application such as a mail transfer agent (MTA) enforces a resource quota within a multi-tenant environment. An email associated with a tenant is managed based on decisions evaluating the email against a queue quota and an association between the email and an email storm. The email is also managed based on another decision evaluating the email against a processing quota. In addition, the email is managed based on a cross MTA aggregate of usage information associated with the first, second, and third decisions.
