Introduction

cPanel provides a feature that can automatically block or hold outgoing mail for users that are detected as potential spammers. Use the following steps to enable or disable this feature.

 

Procedure

  1. Login to WHM as the root user
  2. Navigate to: Home » Server Configuration » Tweak settings
  3. Click on the Mail tab
  4. Locate the setting labeled "Select the action for the system to take on an email account when it detects a potential spammer."
  5. Select your desired action
  6. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Save

Please note, this setting does not function if you disable the Eximstats driver in WHM’s Service Manager interface (WHM >> Home >> Service Configuration >> Service Manager).
