SpamExperts (10 of 11) - Ways to manage spam
SpamExperts is a system independent of our mail servers that filters email to remove Spam. Its success rate is pretty high, but sometimes it might block something you'd like to receive and other times not block something you'd rather not.
There are a number of ways you can manage releasing an email from SpamExperts quarantine or reporting email as spam.

 - Configuring mail destinations for correct mail delivery
The SpamExperts destination defines the server address where email is delivered - it should be set to your domain name. If your domain name points externally, you need to set the address to the server hostname - you can find this information in your welcome email.
|| SpamExperts Destinations used to be called SpamExperts Routes - and this did cause some confusion as there is also cPanel Email Routing - which is different. cPanel Email Routing sets whether email for your domain is dealt with byFew readersEmail troubleshooting

By default your cPanel account will reject email sent to an address that you have not already setup with a mailbox or forwarder. We strongly recommend you leave these default settings alone. Mail addressed to a non existent mailbox or forwarder is called unrouteable.

PHP Mail, also known as PHP Mailer is a piece of software that runs on most web servers that enable the web servers (your websites) to send an email out, without you needing to set up a dedicated email address for it to use or make any configurations.
An example of a PHP mail address (which you may recognise) is: wordress@cpanelUsername.serverhostname.co.uk

What is the SpamExperts Callout Cache
When SpamExperts tries to deliver and email but gets rejected for whatever reason it records the fact. In future, SpamExperts will automatically reject messages sent to this mailbox without checking your cPanel account for several hours. This is to minimise network traffic. This list is not maintained forever, and the cache does expire wiithin a few hours.

 - How to configure MX records and local/remote mail routing in cPanel
MX (Mail eXchanger) DNS records tell sending email servers about the correct receiving servers to use for mail addressed to your domain.
This guide assumes that you are logged into cPanel and that the domain concerned is already a parked, add-on or the primary domain.
MX records require a Priority and a Destination.
Priority - this number allows you to determine the order of preference for your MX Destinations. It only becomes relevant when you have more than a single MX record. TFew readersGmail SPF Checks/Failures
Recently, Google have started enforcing the SPF record checks on domain names sending their clients emails, which may have caused some sent emails to be rejected.
The SPF record helps stop spoofed emails by confirming (through a DNS (TXT) record) that the server that has been used to send an email is one that is authorised to send messages on behalf of that domain.
In order to resolve the bounceback, you need to add a TXT DNS record to your domain name, if you are unsure how to add a DNS recorFew readersSpamExperts (8 of 11) - Whitelisting and Blacklisting senders
SpamExperts allows you to configure rules that override the spam filter for selected recipients and senders. It is important to note that this rule only turns off the content filtering. If the senders' mail server is badly configured, does not comply with open standards, or is itself listed on a real-time blacklist then it will not be possible to whitelist (blacklisting always works).

We generally operate a 50MB limit for email message size. Many ISPs block messages that are larger than 20MB, so a 50MB limit is quite substantial.
Please note that this 50MB limit is for the complete email message, including attachments.
If you wish to send and receive very large files then you should consider using a service like https://wetransfer.com/ (external link opens in a new window) or a cloud-based filing sharing service like DropBox or OneDrive.

We are only responsible for an email message up to the point at which it is accepted by the foreign mail system. Once we receive acknowledgement from the foreign system that it has been received successfully, our servers log the transmission as a success.
You can check this yourself by clicking on the Track Delivery icon in cPanel. The Track Delivery tool can also be useful for diagnosing issues with outgoing email - such as why the receiving email server may be rejecting an email.

The default mailbox is an email account that stores unrouteable or undelivered email messages i.e., to an invalid address such as ifno@example.com, instead of info@example.com.
The account is created automatically when you sign up and the forwarding of emails happens by default.
As such, it is always worth keeping an eye on the account to ensure none of your clients have accidentally mistyped your email address!
