  Hello @albatroz, Have you tried authenticating with one of those email addresses (or one of your own that's hosted on the same server) to see if the issue is global or isolated to the individual users? Thank you.

  There was a problem with the activation of our CPanel/WHM license. We never had a similar problem before. Is this a new feature?

  Hello @albatroz, This is by design as of cPanel & WHM version 76 when the cPanel license is invalid or expired. While email delivery itself will still work, email authentication will fail when the cPanel license is invalid or expired. If you are having trouble with the cPanel license remaining active, let us know and we can take a closer look. Thank you.
