Under WHM --> Email you can "View Relays" which lists a counter of the relays set up for email forwarding on each account.

This gives a list but the list isn't very useful.

It shows a domain, and the number of (I assume distinct emails) that have been relayed in the time frame given. However if the emails are relayed simply to another mailbox on the same domain, that still appears to count.

ie

Forwarder from [email protected] --> [email protected] would be marked as a relay and so each email to info@ would be +1 to the relay counter.

- Is there any way of distinguishing relays to another domain or to another server / another IP ?
- Is there a way of listing out which addresses are relayed on this overview? Otherwise I have to go into each account and see the forwarder list and check each one, very time consuming on 80+ accounts.


(I know this is the way it is on WHM v102. Perhaps this has been changed since then - please let me know if so? but documentation is current: View Relayers | cPanel & WHM Documentation )

Cheers

Hey there! The documentation is current as of version 82, which is shown in the top-right of the page, so there aren't any additional features in newer versions.

Just to confirm, you'd like to see the email addresses that were forwarded as well as the IP addresses those were sent to, correct?

Hi Rex,

I think the premise of the current listing is incorrect; I expect on WHM to see the relays that go *off server* or to an address that is *not on the same domain*; such as if a relay goes to [email protected] then it SHOULD be listed but if the relay goes to [email protected] then it SHOULD NOT be listed on the relay list. Does that make sense?
