When I am sending emails on my server it returns an 415 error saying to try again later... it only happens with one account and I found that if I turn verify sender off on WHM it works...

Can someone point me a secure workaround for this?

Sometimes back I were having the same issue in WHM/Cpanel and it was missing the sending domain from /etc/localdomains. Try adding the domain you are sending email from to the /etc/localdomain configuration file and restart exim, from the command line or WHM/Cpanel Interface.

See how your exim is determining the validity of an email address:

1. Simple output
exim -bv user@domain.com

2. Little more verbose
exim -v -bv user@domain.com

3. Full debug output, showing file searches, database lookups, logic, etc.
exim -d -bv user@domain.com

Do this for a known good email address and then do it for the email which is not functioning for you. One of those three (likely #3) will show you exactly what is failing. I would not be surprised if it ended up being simply a missing entry in /etc/localdomains as mentioned in the previous reply.

Thanks for your answers, I found out that the email folders where with wrong permissions (I don't know why!?!?)

Problem solved!
