Introduction

Tracking email delivery in cPanel is crucial for understanding how emails sent from your hosting account are processed. Using the cPanel Track Delivery feature allows you to view every message sent to an email account. This feature allows you to verify email delivery reports, issues that happened while sending emails, and whether Spam Assassin is doing its job correctly (filtering out incoming spam or undesired emails). This guide will show you how to use cPanel’s email tracking features to monitor email status.

Prerequisites

  • Access to cPanel.
