Where to start.

WHAT TO ESTABLISH FIRST

Is it all mail or some? All recipients or specific providers? Incoming or outgoing? When did it start?

WHY THOSE QUESTIONS

They point at completely different causes.

ALL OUTGOING MAIL FAILING

Authentication, blacklisting, or a server problem.

MAIL TO ONE PROVIDER FAILING

That provider's filtering, or a reputation issue with them.

MAIL FROM ONE SOURCE FAILING

That sending source is not authenticated.

INCOMING MAIL NOT ARRIVING

MX records, routing, or a full mailbox.

WHAT TO CHECK IN ORDER

cPanel Email Deliverability, for authentication Blacklist status Whether the message was accepted or rejected The mail logs

WHAT THE LOGS SHOW

Whether a message was accepted, deferred or rejected, and why.

That is the definitive answer.

WHAT TO ASK US

Open a ticket with the exact error and a sample recipient address.
