I am usually "pretty" savvy with my VPS which runs on CPanel 11, Centos 5.6..but just recently run into an issue which stumps me!

I used to get notifications from csf when i reached a certain server load , and from cpanel for the daily backups i schedule on WHM.

Recently, i dont get ANY emails anymore..i double check my basic WHM/Cpanel config and there is my email in it, i didnt do any changes....i used to get those emails in the past.

Problem is..i am running into CPU load issues and other problems and i need those emails to know what's going on.

Where do i check in regards to cpanel/whm and csf..i must have missed something or oversaw a setting..but i need those cpanel notification emails back as i had before.

ty!

AFAIK all standard mail daemons will log to /var/log/mail.{err|warn|log}

You should be able to look through there to see if the email is getting dropped on the floor for some reason.

I'm no expert on WHM/cPanel but you might want to head over to http://www.webhostingtalk.com and poke around. Their forums would be much better suited to help you as they specialize in web hosting only.

I agree with Crusty, although it might be the maillog file in /var/log I remember correctly.
