Hello,

I am trying to configure two specific settings in SmarterMail:

  1. User Session Timeout:
    I would like to define the session timeout duration for users in SmarterMail(Webmail). For example, I want the system to log users out automatically after 30 minutes of inactivity. How can I set this up through the admin interface or via API?

  2. Failed Login Attempts:
    I want to block user login after a specific number of failed login attempts. For example, after 5 failed login attempts, the account should be locked for 1 hour. Could someone guide me on how to enable this feature in SmarterMail?                                                                                                                                         I tried  adding IDS rules (by email and IP ), it shows blocked in IDS Blocks  but  i' am able to login and emails being sent or received  from that address.

    Please provide instructions for either the admin interface or API commands, depending on the best method.
