Why would any new character(other than a gold spammer) need to send hundreds and thousands of ingame mails? The answer is they don’t.
Stop the ingame mail gold spammers short. Free up system resources.
Restrict the number of ingame mails from low level characters to just a few per hour and/or add a small fee to the sending of mails. This will stop them because there is limited funds to new characters and with restrictions to only send a few mails out or per hour.
Suddenly instead of thousands of annoying ingame mails sent out, you get only a few if any at all. It also gives the powers a bunch of time to handle the few complains/reports they do get.
A good defense wins battles.
Doing the above would allow you to spend more of your valuable resources on the other gold seller problems in the chats.
