Track delivery of a specific email message through the cPanel mail server.

Email Trace (also called Track Delivery) helps you diagnose delivery problems by showing whether a message was accepted, deferred, or rejected by the mail server.

Trace a message

  1. Go to Email → Track Delivery or Email → Email Deliverability.
  2. Enter the recipient email address and optionally the sender address or date range.
  3. Click Run Report or Show.
  4. Review the delivery log for the message status and any error details.

Understanding results

  • Delivered — the server accepted the message for delivery to the recipient mailbox.
  • Deferred — temporary failure; the server will retry delivery.
  • Failed/Rejected — the message was not delivered; check the reason code for details.

If mail to external providers is failing, also verify SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records under Email → Email Deliverability.
