Enmail Gateway – Managing Outgoing Emails in cPanel

Enmail Gateway in cPanel: Managing Outgoing Emails on Hosticko #

Enmail Gateway (inside cPanel) helps you monitor, control, and troubleshoot outgoing emails sent from your hosting account.
You can view delivery logs by domain, spot failures quickly, and release quarantined messages when needed.

What is Enmail Gateway? #

Enmail Gateway is an outgoing email management interface integrated into cPanel. It provides:

  • Delivery metrics (success vs failed sending activity)
  • Detailed email logs (sender, recipient, subject, timestamps, and delivery status)
  • Quarantine controls (release eligible emails and reduce false positives over time)
  • Clear failure explanations so you can fix the root cause faster

How to Access Enmail Gateway in cPanel #

  1. Log in to your cPanel.
  2. Go to the Email section.
  3. Click Enmail – Outgoing Emails.
  4. Select the domain you want to review to load its sending logs and delivery data.

Tip: If you manage multiple domains in one hosting account, always select the correct domain first, logs are domain-specific.

Understanding the Dashboard #

After selecting a domain, you’ll typically see two key areas:

1) Delivery Metrics #

  • Total Sends (for the last 30 days)
  • Successful Sends (for the last 30 days)
  • Failed Sends (for the last 30 days)
  • Success Rate (for the last 30 days)

2) Email Logs #

The log list gives you per-message visibility, usually including:

  • ID (unique message identifier)
  • Date (timestamp of send attempt)
  • Sender (email address that sent the message)
  • Recipient (destination email address)
  • Subject
  • Details (delivery status + reason when blocked/quarantined/failed)
  • Actions (available options, such as releasing quarantined mail)

How to Release Quarantined Emails #

If an outgoing message is flagged as possible spam, it may be placed into quarantine (instead of being delivered immediately).
If the email is eligible for release:

  1. Find the email in the log list.
  2. Click Release in the Action column.

Important: Some messages may exceed the system’s threshold and be blocked entirely, those cannot be released from the interface.

How to Report an Email Issue to Hosticko Support #

If an email is failing or being quarantined and you’re not sure why, send our support team the message details:

  1. Locate the email in Enmail logs.
  2. Use the copy icon next to the email’s ID to copy delivery details.
  3. Paste the copied details into your support ticket.

Troubleshooting Failed Email Deliveries #

When a message fails, the Details column usually explains what went wrong in simple language.
Here are the most common fixes that solve the majority of outgoing email issues:

1) Check your domain authentication (SPF / DKIM / DMARC) #

  • Make sure your domain has valid SPF and DKIM records.
  • If you use DMARC, confirm it aligns with your sending setup.
  • In cPanel, you can often manage this under Email Deliverability.

2) Confirm the recipient address is valid #

  • Typos, deactivated inboxes, or full mailboxes can cause immediate bounces.
  • Try sending to an alternate address to verify quickly.

3) Review your email content #

  • Avoid spam-trigger wording, misleading subjects, and suspicious links.
  • Don’t attach risky file types; use cloud links when possible.
  • Keep formatting clean (especially for automated messages).

4) Watch sending volume #

  • Bulk sending from shared hosting can trigger rate limits and filtering.
  • If you’re sending newsletters or campaigns, consider a dedicated email service (transactional SMTP / marketing platforms).

Pro tip: If you’re using a website contact form, make sure it sends mail using authenticated methods
(and not spoofing “From” addresses that aren’t set up for your domain).

Performance Notes (Good to Know) #

  • Loading time: Email logs can take a bit to load, especially for busy domains.
  • Domain selection matters: You’ll only see logs for the domain you selected.
  • Near real-time visibility: Recent sending activity usually appears quickly in the logs.

FAQs #

Why are my emails going to quarantine? #

Usually because the message looks spammy (content, links, sending pattern) or the domain authentication isn’t strong enough.
Check the log “Details” first, then confirm SPF/DKIM and sending behavior.

Can I release every quarantined email? #

Not always. Some emails exceed the system threshold and are blocked entirely, which means they can’t be released from the interface.

What should I share with support if an email fails? #

Share the message ID and copied delivery details from the Enmail logs. That gives support enough to investigate quickly.


If you’re still stuck, contact Hosticko Support and include the Enmail log message ID for faster help.
