When you create a domain in cPanel’s WHM, for some reason the default setting does not add DomainKeys or SPF records to your DNS Zone, which means that when you send email, it is likely to go straight to the junk-box, if delivered at all.
A simple way to reduce the likelihood of your email getting lost on its journey is to run the following commands via SSH using the root account for your server, which will add these records:
DomainKeys
To add a DomainKey for your new domain, login as root and execute the following command, replacing ‘username’ with the account’s cPanel username:
/usr/local/cpanel/bin/domain_keys_installer usernameSPF Record

/usr/local/cpanel/bin/spf_installer usernameOnce this is done your email should arrive in your recipients’ inboxes happily ever after.
