Are there any server-side configurations or settings that can help prevent excessive email sending in PHP scripts?

To prevent excessive email sending in PHP scripts, one approach is to set limits on the number of emails that can be sent within a certain time period. This can be achieved by configuring server-side settings such as mail transfer agent (MTA) rate limiting or using a third-party email service that provides email sending limits. Additionally, you can implement logic in your PHP script to track the number of emails sent and enforce a limit. 

// Example PHP code snippet to limit the number of emails sent within a certain time period
$limit = 100; // Set the limit to 100 emails
$interval = 3600; // Set the time interval to 1 hour (in seconds)

// Check if the limit has been reached within the specified time interval
if ($_SESSION['email_count'] >= $limit && time() - $_SESSION['email_time'] < $interval) {
    // Limit exceeded, display an error message or take appropriate action
    echo "Email sending limit exceeded. Please try again later.";
    exit;
}

// Send the email
// Your email sending code here

// Update the email count and time
$_SESSION['email_count']++;
$_SESSION['email_time'] = time();
