Similar is the configuration of abc.com but email goes fine through this.

Solution:
The problem was that in.abc.com and m.abc.comhad the IP address 203.104.22.35 in their VirtualHost definitions in /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf. This caused the incorrect IP address to be put in the userdata files in /var/cpanel/userdata/abc.
To correct this problem, I edited the httpd.conf file and distilled the changes. I then updated the cPanel userdata, and finally emptied the /etc/mailips file.
root@host08 [/var/cpanel/userdata/abc]# /usr/local/cpanel/bin/apache_conf_distiller –update
root@host08 [/var/cpanel/userdata/abc]# /usr/local/cpanel/bin/userdata_update
root@host08 [/var/cpanel/userdata/abc]# > /etc/mailips
