    I have this (kind of a) quick fix: cp /etc/exim.conf.localopts /root/exim.conf.localopts.bak sed -i 's/acl_spamcop_rbl=1/acl_spamcop_rbl=0/g' /etc/exim.conf.localopts /scripts/buildeximconf /scripts/restartsrv_exim

    And it's not just mail that your server is receiving. Until "everyone" disables bl.spamcop.net or the DNS propragates, you're likely to get a lot of bounced mail back that your clients are sending.

    We are also experiencing a lot of gmail rejecton from emails sent by our clients from all our servers with different server IPs. I assume that gmail also uses a spamcop spam database to some extent and that is why there are so many rejections.. Could this rejections be due to spamcop issues?

    Spamcop is unreachable. If your cPanel server has SpamCop configured in exim's RBL filters it will reject about any email. You can easily fix by doing what stated in the original post: WHM >> Exim Configuration Manager >> RBL tab: Turn off bl.spamcop.net

    Thank you for your reply. In the time of writing this post I was not aware that most support ticket we had from our clients ware do to us blocking gmail and not the other way around but I then quickly figured this out and turned off spamcop on all servers and now it is OK.

    Confirming, bunch o emails rejected as spam, disabling spamcop as a rbl fixes the issue: WHM >> Exim Configuration Manager >> RBL tab

    This made for a fun morning. Is it possible for cPanel to add some logic so that when a RBL is not working, emails aren't being discarded?

    This is so funny.... But it would be the funniest day if spamhaus stopped working.

    So has anyone turned on spamcop again? Does it work fine again?

    Yes looks to be fine...we had some issues in the morning with Hotmail but that seems to be cleared by now as well.
