Email authentication
cPanels email authentication features provide information about outgoing messages. This helps
the receiving server verify that the email is coming from a trusted sender.
To combat spam, or unwanted email, cPanels email authentication features attempt to provide
information so that recipients know the nature of incoming messages. This enables you to discard
unnecessary messages.
This helps you to set DKIM and SPF records. DKIM helps verify the sender and integrity of a
message. SPF attempts to prevent spammers from sending email while forging your domain’s name as the sender (spoofing).

Forwarding to free email forwarding like Gmail and Yahoo have been disabled as the free email
providers will reject the emails forwarded to the account when they detect that there are too
many emails being forwarded to their mail servers.
We would recommend to do a fetching of email from Gmail / other free email account via
POP/IMAP as this would be more reliable in terms of emails being received in Gmail / other free
email services.
You can do the following steps to setup Google Mail Fetcher:
===
1. Log into your Gmail account.
2. Click the gear icon on the upper right corner of the page and select Settings.
3. Click the Accounts tab and locate the Check mail from other accounts (using POP3) section.
4. Click Add a POP3 mail account you own.

6. Click Next Step.
7. In the Password field, enter the password for the email address you provided.

9. Click the checkboxes next to the options that best suit your needs:
Leave a copy of retrieved messages on the server
Always use a secure connection (SSL) when retrieving mail
Label incoming messages
Archive incoming messages
10. Click Add Account.

who access it.

window.

Click the name of the directory for which you want to change the indexing style.
cPanel offers 4 options; select 1 of the following:

2)Fancy Indexing: Information about the files, such as the size and time last modified, appear.
3)Default System Setting: The default defined by your web host will be used.

the contents are “forbidden.”
