    Login to WHM and in Tweak settings under Mail section you can mention the value , however make sure you have configured MX record as well as DNS records too.

    Hello @Zahra95

    From WHM>>Server Configuration>>Tweak Settings you need to check the Mail section for "Maximum percentage of failed or deferred messages a domain may send per hour"

    The output you show indicates:
    Which tells me you have reached/exceed the value set for that variable.

    Thanks!

    The "Maximum percentage of failed or deferred messages a domain may send per hour" setting appears in both Tweak Settings, and in the Packages Add/Edit

    Looking at the documentation for both utilities, I couldn't see ( apologies if it's there and I missed it) any statement as to the order of precedent that these setting are applied.

    I wonder if there should be an additional, and prominent, Tweak Setting that locks all the settings in Tweak Settings, and prevents any other utility or facility or setting from overriding them ?

    Please don't ask me to open a Feature Request - as it stands, that site/area does not deserve to be a part of the cPanel portfolio.

    Hi @rpvw

    Good point in bringing up the package setting.

    I'm not sure that would work since package values are only relevant for the account's assigned to them whereas tweak settings are global. For instance, I could set in tweak settings the max percentage of failed/deferred to 90%, then in two packages set it to 50% and 40% - the accounts assigned those two packages would have the specified limitation of 40% or 50%, not the 90% set globally.

    So the package setting takes precedent over the Tweak Settings value ?

    In that case, the user above may have their Tweak Settings value set to "unlimited" but have a lower value (70% or 71%) set in the package ?

    Does the package value have to be 'equal to' or less than the Tweak Setting ? eg if the Tweak Setting were to be 90%, could the package be 'unlimited' ? or would the 90% in this case be determining cap ?

    Only for the accounts that have the package setting so yes/no for example:

    If I set the max % of failed/deferred
    Package 1: 50%
    Package 2: Unlimited

    And Tweak Settings has 90%

    Package 1 will use the 50% and Package 2 will default to the global of 90%


    (I think that may have answered the other questions as well)

    So what would the following scenario produce ?

    If I set the max % of failed/deferred:

    Tweak Settings has 60%
    Package 1: 50%     (I would guess that the 50% would prevail as it is less than the 60% Tweak Settings)
    Package 2: 90% (This is the real question ? Would it be 90% of the total, or 90% of the 60%, or just plain ignored since it represented a higher value than that set in Tweak Settings ?)

    I can see that not setting a value in the Package (unlimited) would default to the Tweak Settings value, but perhaps that would be better tagged as 'Not Set' rather than 'Unlimited' which suggests something else altogether ?

    Sorry, I am not trying to be pedantic, just to get a definite and explicit ruling on the setting hierarchy :)

    The global would take precedence over the 90% from what I understand of the setting - similar to the way a php.ini works. The global takes precedence over what you set in the specific account, you can set lower limits in the account but not higher.

    Thank you very much @cPanelLauren.

    I wonder if there might be some way of reflecting the Tweak Settings global setting in the Package add/edit ? something like having the faded number in the box reflecting the eg 90, and provoking an error message if one tried to set something higher (this could also apply to other Package settings that have overriding Tweak Settings as well)

    Excellence is in the details :-D
