Email Account Suspended

Hi all, A customer couldn't login to his email account. I checked in cPanel and saw that his email account is suspended. My question is how this may have happened? Is there any mechanism in cPanel/WHM that auto-suspends email accounts, or this can only happen manually from the cPanel interface?

  Hello, Run the following in SSH:
  grep "uapi_module=Email&uapi_func=suspend_login&uapi_data" /usr/local/cpanel/logs/access_log
  To the right of uapi_data you will see the email that is being suspended. Then further to the left of that hit check the URL that is being posted to, does it end in 2082/2083, if so it means someone suspended it via cPanel. I don't believe there is a way to suspend emails through WHM, but there is a way to do it via API: UAPI Functions - Email::suspend_login - Software Development Kit - cPanel Documentation

  Good day, We have somehow the same problem with this. Whenever our clients reported about their account and when we checked on the WHM > List Account > and opening their cPanel > Email accounts we found out that some specific email addresses got suspended without any reason and without someone suspending it. May we know how is this happening? Hoping for your feedback. Thank you!

  We have exactly the same problem. An email account is getting restricted very often and we don't know the reason. Nobody is restricting accounts manually. [CODE=bash]grep "uapi_module=Email&uapi_func=suspend_login&uapi_data" /usr/local/cpanel/logs/access_log
  gives me nothing.
