cPanel version 64 temporarily stop ALL outgoing email.

[DonaldMcGlinn]

I have been asked to temporarily stop all outgoing email.

They still want all email accounts to receive during that temporary outgoing freeze.

It's not exchange (that would be easy)

Is there a simple global solution?

As there are only 30 mailboxes, I am open to a non global solution.

Hello,

You can suspend outgoing email for an individual cPanel account using the following WHM API 1 function:

Let us know if this helps.

Thank you.

yes, that helps thank you. How do I restore outgoing emails once the temporary freeze has been lifted?

thank you for both of those. Is there a way of creating a batch file so this can be done via an url? for example www.example.com/run.bat

You can click on the JSON API and XML API examples on those documents to see how to use the function via a web browser. This is detailed more under "Basic Usage" at:

Thanks!
