People who reply will be automatically whitelisted 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. 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 whitelist, so you don&#8217;t have to bother them with getting approved.
