InMotion Hosting's BoxTrapper Guide

Introduction

BoxTrapper is a feature now available from both the mail area of cpanel and from webmail by individual users.

BoxTrapper, once enabled, sets a responder on the email account the requires confirmation from the sender before you receive their message. This is very useful in eliminating spam, as spammers do not respond. If you enable auto white listing (recommended), once the sender replies as instructed, they are added to a "white list" in order to allow them to send mail without having to confirm again.

Enabling BoxTrapper

  1. Login to your Control Panel
  2. Enter the Mail section.
  3. Click on the BoxTrapper Spam Trap link.
  4. Click the Manage link towards the right hand side of the screen for the email address that you want to enable BoxTrapper for.
  5. Click the Enable button to turn on BoxTrapper for the account.
  6. As a last step (highly reccomended) you will want to turn on Automatic Whitelisting. To do this click the Configure Settings link towards the bottom left of the BoxTrapper Configuration screen and then click the check box for Enable Automatic Whitelisting.
