www4mail Quota Limits

As of the date of this User's Guide, the quota period of www4mail free usage is limited to 300 requests (in the categories - html or text or document source) per week.

If you have exeeded your weekly quota, www4mail will inform you with a 503 Error Message - Service Unvailble (quota finished) and will stop anwsering your requests after that!

WARNING: Your quota will considerably vary when requesting binary files such as ".exe", ".zip". These types of files will account for 3 to 5 times as much. Images such as ".jpg", ".gif" will account for 20 times as much! www4mail aims to facilitate access and searching of (HTML) Web documents.

Each reply you get from the www4mail carries information about your remaining quota and the day of the last access (usage within the quota week). For instance, on the body of every ww4mail reply you will get something like this:
