cPanel Track Delivery Interface

The Track Delivery interface in your cPanel control panel lets you view reports about email delivery attempts from your account. This feature is useful for tracing an email's delivery route and identifying message delivery issues.

Please note that the interface lists the 250 most recent message delivery failures to and from your mailboxes and data is retained for 30 days..


Accessing the Track Delivery interface

So if your domain name is 'example.com' you should go to 'http://www.example.com/cpanel/' to login to your control panel. The Track Delivery interface is in the "Email" tab, simply click on the name or the icon to enter.
