How mail suspension works

[plesk4lyf]

Does anyone know how the per-inbox mail suspension works for incoming mail?

I've noticed for outgoing the email address will appear in:
`/etc/outgoing_mail_suspended_users`

And setting it to "hold" puts the email in:
`/etc/outgoing_mail_hold_users`

However haven't found how the incoming suspension works.

Hey there! We create a [email protected]_incoming file in /home/username/etc that is an empty touch file to indicate the account has the incoming email suspended. Let me know if that's what you're looking for!

Hey @cPRex,

Thanks for the update!

I'm curious, can that file not be simply deleted and remove the suspension? I suppose this type of suspension isn't the same as an account suspension where you can lock the account from being unsuspended.

I'll give a try and see what happens!

Yes, you can remove that file and the suspension is undone, but, only the cPanel admin would have access to the option in the user interface or on the command line.
