Hello! It appears the email from your cron server is being rejected because the root@hostname email isn't recognized as a valid email account on the cron server.

Can you try whitelisting the cron server from within WHM on the AWS server to see if this allows the emails to be received? We have an article below that contains the steps to whitelist the cron server from Sender Verify checks:

Hi,

The steps from the article in my last reply would allow you to whitelist emails sent from your cron server to your AWS server. This should prevent the sender verification errors you're receiving. Let us know if you're still seeing issues after applying this change. Thanks!
