    GoDaddy provides detailed list of instructions for setting up a VPS server and cPanel to work with their SmartHost email service (Apologies for reproducing it here, but it keeps geolocating me and switching to Spanish - so if you want these instructions in your own language; try browsing to and work through their help pages.) [quote] cPanel: Configure your server's DNS for Workspace email These instructions only apply to servers. If you're looking to set up email with a cPanel Shared Hosting account, see Checking and managing my MX records. To Set up Your Email Using cPanel
    • Log in to WHM by entering root as your user name.
    • In the Account Information area, click List Accounts.
    • Locate the domain name you want to set up email for, and then click Open in Control Panel.
    • Click the cPanel icon for the domain name you want to use.
    • In the Mail area, click MX Entry.
    • Click Remote Mail Exchanger, and then click Change.
    • In the MX Records area, click Delete.
    • Click Add Record.
    • From the Record Type menu, select MX.
    • In the Add New Record field, enter the first MX record:
      • In the Priority field, type 0.
      • In the Destination field, type smtp.secureserver.net.
      • Click Add New Record.
    • In the Add New Record field, enter the second MX record:
      • In the Priority field, type 10.
      • In the Destination field, type mailstore1.secureserver.net.
      • Click Add New Record.
    • View the new MX records at the bottom of the page to make sure they are correct. It can take up to 48 hours for your changes to propagate through the Internet.

    From what I can see, if you have a GoDaddy VPS server, they require you to use their remote SmartHost service. If you insist on using the cPanel built-in local mail exchanger - you would need to move to some server configuration other than a VPS (or maybe to some other provider). I don't think this is the fault of cPanel, and support probably tried to explain this to you. I hope this helps.

    Hello, This actually sounds like you're trying to reach your provider, cPanel is not your hosting provider. You will need to contact them to address issues with your server with them. I would suggest following the instructions provided by @rpvw as well but GoDaddy's support/help can be found here: GoDaddy Help and Support | Customer Knowledge Base " GoDaddy Help Again, issues with your hosting are not something cPanel can assist you with.
