    i did a search on the forum and found the following files

    /etc/wwwaccount.conf
    /var/cpanel.config
    /etc/exim.conf.local
    /etc/exim.conf

    are there any other files that cpanel writes settings too.

    I am not sure if it is still correct though as it is very old. Use this at your own risk!

    A much better current guide (which I've mentioned several times in threads) is this one:
