Error when setting default mail address through Cpanel
A client may recieve the following error in cPanel when he/she tried to set their default email address:
Fatal! Write Failure: /etc/valiases/domain.com . Ignore any messages of success this can only result in failure!
The client will recieve this error because the file ‘domain.com’ (change as per your requirements) is missing. To correct this, follow these steps:
1)
Go to directory /etc/valiases
root@server1[/]# cd /etc/valiases
2)
Create the file domain.com
root@server1[/etc/valiases]# touch domainname.com
3)
change the ownership as per below.
root@server1[/etc/valiases]# chown username.mail domainname.com
That should solve your problem.

Default email address will receive any mail that is sent to an invalid email address for domain. It should be set to fail if you are receiving large number of spam mails.
