How to include the crond service to chkservd
First we need to create a crond file under the chkservd.d directory where all the services files are placed:
Add the following line to the file:
service[crond]=x,x,x,/etc/init.d/crond restart,crond,root
Now we need to edit the chkservd configuration file and enable the crond service for monitoring
vi /etc/chkserv.d/chkservd.conf
add the following line at the end of the file
Restart the chkservd service for the new changes to take affect:
/scripts/restartsrv chkservd
Stop the service manually and watch chkservd logs to verify auto-restart.
service crond stop; tail -f /var/log/chkservd.log
You should notice that the crond service is restarted automatically.

Localdomains and remotedomains in cPanel Server.
Problem : A user that pointed their MX records to another server but email from their website or users on the same server isn’t going out of the server.
This is because Exim on the server is configured to use files called localdomains and remotedomains, which tell Exim whether a domain’s email is hosted locally or remotely.
The files controlling these actions are:
/etc/localdomains: email hosted locally
/etc/remotedomains: email hosted remotely
* The remotedomains file takes precedence, so if a domain is located in both files, the mail server should use remotedomains.
Common Errors:
*Email from the user’s site is not being delivered to their outside mail server - add the domain to remotedomains
*lowest numbers MX record points to localhost - adding the domain to localdomains will resolve the issue.
*Email bouncing stating the user does not exist - add the domain to remotedomains
