Before v.2.4, the only way to customize them was through customizing the
special system notification templates, documents containing FreeMarker
instructions for including dynamically-generated
data. These templates are located in the
shiva/shiva-templates/common/mail directory of the
cpanel user's home directory
(/hsphere/local/home/cpanel) and have .txt extension.
This document explains where to find the default system email templates
and how to customize them.
IMPORTANT:
Starting from v.2.4, it is strongly recommended not to touch the default system email
templates; instead, you should
edit notifications via Control Panel to be able to restore default texts from the templates.
Here is the list of default templates for system email messages
that can be customized via CP interface starting from HS v.2.4:
