racking Email Delivery in cPanel (Firstserv Guide)

When you send an email, Firstserv servers are responsible for delivering it up to the point where the recipient’s mail server accepts it.

✅ Once the receiving server confirms delivery:

  • The message is logged as successfully delivered
  • Responsibility passes to the recipient’s email provider

Checking Email Delivery Status

You can check the status of sent emails using the Track Delivery tool in cPanel.


How to Access Track Delivery

  1. Log in to cPanel
  2. Go to the Email section
  3. Click Track Delivery

Using the Track Delivery Tool

Once opened, the tool will display a list of recent email activity.


Filter Results

You can:

  • View all outgoing emails
  • Search for a specific recipient email address
  • Click Run Report to narrow results

View Delivery Status

You can choose to display:

  • All emails
  • ⚠️ Blocked & Failed emails only

This helps you quickly identify any delivery issues.
