How can I use BoxTrapper to help prevent SpamWritten By: Brad Markle |

In addition to this article, we also have a video tutorial to show you more on: When someone sends you an email for the first time, Box Trapper responds back asking them to reply to prove their not a spammer or bot. If they reply they can be white listed and never have to do it again. The concept, relies on the fact that spammers and bots will not reply to the email BoxTrapper sends and therefore can be determined as spam. One problem with this is if you get emails from banks, businesses, etc. that use a dontreply@domain.com and they will not reply. Since they do not reply you will not receive the email they sent. You can also manually add any addresses of people you already correspond with (your address book in your mail client is a good place to start) to the white list, so you don't have to bother them with getting approved. Pay attention to the format of the addresses listed above the white list box to avoid errors. In theory, BoxTrapper sounds like a great solution but may not be the best tool for everyone to use. We recommend using SpamAssassin instead.
