cPanel remove block for domain: Domain has exceeded the max defers and failures per hour

In cPanel, once a domain reaches the max fail/deff limit, it is temporary blocked from sending outgoing emails to other domains. cPanel stores block in files:

/var/cpanel/email_send_limits/max_deferfail_DOMAIN_NAME.tld

To unblock a domain, simply remove the file from the email_send_limits directory:

rm /var/cpanel/email_send_limits/max_deferfail_DOMAIN_NAME.tld

or to remove block for all domains:

rm -f /var/cpanel/email_send_limits/max_deferfail_*
