Hello, I'm looking into suspending "Sending Outgoing Email" of a few email addresses, to ensure whoever sets up those email addresses in Outlook/Thunderbird will use AWS SES as the SMTP server. However, I'd just like to know what exactly happens in the background when I select "Suspend". What configurations are changed? Are any DNS entries affected? Thank you.

  Hello @nunop, 1. Here's a quote from our UAPI Functions - Email::suspend_outgoing - Developer Documentation - cPanel Documentation 2. On the backend, a custom Exim ACL is configured to block outgoing emails if the email account is suspended (it checks the /etc/outgoing_mail_suspended_users file). You can view the full ACL with the following command: # cat /usr/local/cpanel/etc/exim/acls/ACL_RECIPIENT_BLOCK/default_recipient
  Here's the specific part of the above ACL that blocks outgoing emails: # implemented for "suspend outgoing email" feature for domains and individual webmail/pop accounts deny domains = ! +local_domains condition = ${perl{check_outgoing_mail_suspended}} message = ${perl{get_outgoing_mail_suspended_message}} log_message = ${perl{get_outgoing_mail_suspended_message}}
  Let me know if this helps. Thank you.
