Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Hosting Security and Technology : cPanel not recieving email

[chawz]

For the longest time cPanel's email has been working fine for me but as of late emails from large websites (stumbleupon, msn, aim, and other various confirm sign up websites) have been not arriving at all. I've checked out boxtrapper and spamassassin but to my knowledge all kinds of filtering and spam detection have been turned off. Is there any reason why I can't recieve these emails?

have you checked your mail logs?

cat /var/log/exim_mainlog | grep emailaddress@domain.tld
copy the mail ID# and then
cat /var/log/exim_mainlog | grep ID#

should show you why email was not accepted.

or run:
tail -f /var/log/exim_mainlog
while you send a message from a test msn/aim account to someone on the server.

hope this helps, good luck.
