			Basically, SMTP tweak prevents emails being sent through means other than the cPanel mail service, exim.

			SMTP tweak is very easy to implement.

			[1] Login to your WHM (Web Host Manager) as root.

			If you use APF (Advanced Policy Firewall) you need to change certain settings to make sure they both function together properly.

			To do so, open the init file with your favorite text editor:

			<pre>nano /etc/init.d/apf</pre>

			Replace the entire contents of the file with this:

			<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
