SOLVED Why can't you update eximmailtrap and autodiscover_proxy_subdomains manually?

[coursevector]

In the documentation it has this warning for trying to manually change eximmailtrap or autodiscover_proxy_subdomains using the WHM API:

Warning:
This value is dynamic. You must perform additional steps to update it manually. We recommend only modifying this value in the interface.

The cpanel.config File - Version 84 Documentation - cPanel Documentation

documentation.cpanel.net

Why? What other steps need to be done? I've seen many other posts saying it's as easy as just running using the API anyway ( WHM V1 API - set_tweaksetting for X-Source Header ). Any reason not to?

Hello there! I believe what it's saying is that it's fine to use the API and interface, but directly editing those values inside cpanel.config with a text editor could lead to issues.

ah, ok, thanks!
