Using BoxTrapper
The BoxTrapper allows you to activate email verification for those not on your white list. This means that any mail address that is not placed on your white list will be required to send back a verification email to ensure that they are not a spammer. This function can be quite useful in preventing automatic mailings that you do not wish to receive from reaching your inbox.
To enter the BoxTrapper menu, click on the word Manage.
Click on the button labeled Enable to enable the BoxTrapper.
Your black/white/ignore lists allow you to permit, deny, and ignore email messages from certain accounts. A black list allows you to prevent an account from sending email messages to your accounts that are protected by the BoxTrapper. A white list allows email to be delivered from certain accounts without verification. An ignore list allows you to deny email messages from an account without sending a response back.
To enter the BoxTrapper menu, click on the word Manage.
Click on Edit Forward/White/Black/Ignore Lists to edit your lists.
Click on the name of the list you wish to edit to edit that list.
Place the email addresses or subjects that you wish to allow/prevent/ignore in the field, one on each line.
Click on Save to save your changes to the list.
Troubleshooting
Make sure you place only one email address or subject on each line of the list. Follow the format shown in the examples when adding entries to the field.
The BoxTrapper will prevent all mail from entering your inbox except from addresses on your white list, or addresses that have responded to your verification message. Make sure that any automatic mailing you wish to receive have their from address on your white list as they will not be able to respond to your verification mail.
