Intro:
What if every unwanted email had to prove itself before it ever reached your inbox? That’s exactly what BoxTrapper does—and it’s far more powerful than typical spam filters. Instead of just guessing what’s junk, it puts the burden on the sender to verify they’re real. The result? A cleaner inbox, fewer distractions, and more control than most people realize is possible. Keep reading to discover how this often-overlooked feature can quietly eliminate the majority of your spam—for good.

BoxTrapper Overview

BoxTrapper helps protect your inbox from spam using a challenge-response system.

When someone emails you:

• BoxTrapper sends them a verification email
• The sender must confirm they are real (usually by clicking a link or replying)
• Only verified emails are delivered to your inbox

If the sender does not verify:

• The email is blocked
• It will eventually be deleted automatically

How to Enable BoxTrapper

1. Click Manage next to the email account
2. Click Enable

Note:
When enabled, any email address you send messages to will be automatically whitelisted (allowed).

How SpamAssassin Works (Simple Explanation)

SpamAssassin scans emails and assigns a spam score:

• Higher score = more likely spam
• Lower or negative score = likely safe

BoxTrapper uses this score to decide:

• Deliver immediately
• Or require verification

---

Customizing Verification Messages

BoxTrapper sends automatic messages in different situations:

• Verify Message → Sent to unknown senders
• Verified Message → Sent after successful verification
• Failed Verification → If sender doesn’t verify
• Blacklist Message → Sent to blocked senders

You can edit these by clicking Edit.

Important:

Do NOT change this part in the subject line:

verify#%msgid%

It is required for BoxTrapper to work properly.

You can reset messages anytime with Reset to Default.
