Clients are not sent an email on new account creation from cPanel. The Server Administrator is. You can change your email contact settings here of course:

WHM > Server Contacts > Contact Manager

I don't believe editing the subject line of the emails is possible.

Since /usr/local/cpanel/bin/wwwacct is a binary file that is used for sending the "New Account Info" email and the email uses the server's hostname for the "Subject" line's domain, it isn't actually possible to revise that value unless the hostname were changed.

You may wish to post a feature request to have the "New Account Info" email able to be changed via a template. Our feature request forum is at the following location:

But for me no matter from where I could change it. As I guess in subject this server26.colocationdomain.com is a hostname but.... from console I type "hostname" and its "mynewserv.com" , so why real hostname is different then this one in email subject?

WHM > Change Hostname and WHM > Basic cPanel & WHM Setup are the areas where the hostname is defined.

Of note, if mynewserv.com is a domain on the machine you have in a cPanel account, it should not be used as the hostname. The hostname cannot be a domain owned by a cPanel account, since under cPanel the hostname is owned by nobody. You will break mail functioning on the domain if you have it both as a domain for an existing cPanel account and the hostname of the machine. A subdomain on a domain should be used as the hostname instead such as server.mynewserv.com

Thanks
