cPanel eMail only
Hi all,
I searched but I found only old threads and posts...
I want to sell email only domains, so i would like a cpanel version for the customer where he can only set modify email settings (no web, no dns, no db, no advanced).
Or... there is already a "panel" where my customer can add / delete/ modify email addresses for that domain?
Thank You!

Hello, You can assign the "Mail Only" feature list to the account or the package assigned to the account. Packages are added via "WHM >> Add a Package". Thank you. 0 -
Thank You! I had looked at that section but I had not seen it... I still have in cpanel "Domains" with Zone editor, how can i remove this? 0 -

You can edit the "Mail Only" feature list and uncheck the option for "MX Entry". This feature allows the user to change their MX records via the Zone Editor option in cPanel. Thank you.0 -
Hello - is there any update on mail only server? Mail Only version of cPanel & WHM 0 -
@cPRex thanks! - Can we use this as a secondary mail server (while using the Master server for everything else?) - Can we cluster this Mail node server (e.g. have two or more serving only mail) and in separate locations for redundancy? - Do we need a cPanel license to run the mail profile server (if we already have a separate parent server)? Is it similar to the DNS only server (no license needed) - When will proper Mail Only system be ready (even an rough ETA e.g. which year would be helpful to know). 0 -
1 - nope, that's not really the intended purpose as it will handle the mail traffic for the parent servers that use it. 2 - You can have multiple children connected to one parent, but the children aren't currently aware of each other like a DNS cluster would be. 3 - Yes - you would need a license that can handle the number of accounts that will be using mail on the mail node. There will be additional licensing options for the node systems soon. 4 - I usually live by the rule of "there is never an ETA" as that seems to avoid disappointment, but in this case I really don't have any official timeline at all. 0 -

How does the licensing work? If server A has 100 accounts and server B has 50 accounts, and they both use server C (mail node) for mail, then will server C be charged for 150 accounts? How would the license for server C "know" this information? Or is it based on the number of accounts from the parent server(s) that actually use the mail node during a month? Is there any news on "additional licensing options for node systems?"0 -
Hey there! Right now that isn't an issue, because that isn't a configuration that would be supported: do not currently support configurations that link more than one parent node to a single child node." This will likely be expanded and changed at some point. 0 -

My bad, I knew that, but I poorly worded the question, I should have said "node" not "server. What I'm asking is if this effectively doubles the licensing cost? Meaning the total account count of the child node must be >= to all accounts on the servers on the parent node. After reading the docs again, it looks like you have to set each account to use the child node services, it's not whole server/node, necessarily. Correct? So would the child licensing would have to match only that count? But then I'm wondering about the child node, if it is multiple servers/licenses, would it multiple the account count from parent set to use it x the number of servers in the child node?0 -
Ah, that makes sense. At this time the child node license is a flat fee and not per account. I, and this is really just me without any insider knowledge on this issue as it is far from even being planned, anticipate some sort of license realignment happening in the future once we get all the nodes and high availability and configuration cluster things more settled, but that's gonna be a while. 0 -

I like the sound of that. Is there a page on that? All I could find is this: " You may use any tier of cPanel license[1] for any type of cPanel node however, the account limitations of that license tier will still apply. For example, if you were to use the Solo tier on a mail node, you would only be able to distribute 1 account to that mail node." from here:0 -
I couldn't find anything public about that either, so I've reached out to the Customer Service team to see if we either can create an addition to a page or a new page that explains the licensing properly. I'll update once I know more about that status. 0 -
Update - we're going to be posting the licensing details to How to Use Server Profiles | cPanel & WHM Documentation 0 -
Of course! 0
