Email not sending from cPanel? How to find and fix the cause

Enable greylisting in WHM to cut spam (root guide)

Encrypt email with GPG keys in cPanel (Encryption tool)

Fix a full mailbox in cPanel: Email Disk Usage and quotas
Find out what fills a cPanel mailbox, clean old mail by folder and age with Email Disk Usage, raise the mailbox quota and stop "mailbox full" bounces.
Fix email deliverability for customer accounts in WHM
Check and repair SPF, DKIM and PTR records for your customers' domains with WHM Email Deliverability, add DMARC, and stop mail landing in spam.

Deal with spam from webmail: find mail in the Spam folder, mark messages as spam or not spam, and whitelist or blacklist senders in cPanel Spam Filters so it sticks.
Hourly email sending limits on cPanel hosting explained
Why cPanel hosting limits how many emails a domain can send per hour, what happens when you hit the limit, how to see queued mail and how to send newsletters properly.
How email hosting works: SMTP, IMAP, POP3, MX, SPF, DKIM and DMARC
Follow an email from sender to inbox: SMTP and MX records, IMAP vs POP3, and how SPF, DKIM and DMARC prove your mail is genuine so it lands in the inbox, not spam.
How to limit outgoing email per account in WHM
Set hourly email limits and bounce thresholds per cPanel account or package in WHM so a hacked form or spammer cannot damage your shared IP reputation.
How to use Roundcube webmail on cPanel hosting
Log in to webmail on port 2096, read, write and organise email in Roundcube, manage folders and attachments, and work safely from any browser.
