Did you check your logs?

[mattbergin]

which logs? email, cpanel?

I don't know how you can see the logs using cpanel. With ssh2 you can do:

tail -f /var/log/maillog

Then send an e-mail and see if you see anything at your screen.

it sends e-mails fine. just recieving is the problem.

Maybe your spam filter "thinks" that the e-mails you send is spam? Try to disable it for a while. Then restart the smtp server and try again to send an e-mail to a e-mail address that hosted to your server.
