Hey there, @indiego!

I'm not completely sure what you mean. Are you saying you want only your local domains to be able to send email? If so, we have the option to limit what accounts can access the SMTP service in WHM >> Tweak Settings with this value:

"Restrict outgoing SMTP to root, exim, and mailman (FKA SMTP Tweak)"

If you have that option enabled, only verified users will be able to send messages from your machine, which can help prevent spam from scripts. If you're looking for something different just let me know!

Thanks for the additional details. I would still expect that to work, as that would be the same connection and authentication method as a client connecting with a tool like Outlook or Thunderbird.
hi @cPRex thank you for your response ,
there is other domain I use cpanel other hosting provider services can't send with a differend domain, the error “smtp error 550 your from gmail address must match your authenticated email domain. treating this a spofed email”. i want my other server set like that condition.
