Steps For Setting Up BoxTrapper in cPanel

In the previous Blog, we discussed Email Encryption process and how to set it up.

In this Blog, we are going to discuss BoxTrapper in cPanel.

BoxTrapper :

It is used for filtering spam from your inbox i.e. it protects your inbox from spam. In other words, we can say that when a BoxTrapper is enabled on an account then it automatically sends a verification email in response.

The sender must complete the verification process before the email can pass to your inbox. If the sender does not verify the email then the verification fails and BoxTrapper never clears the message for delivery. The system automatically deletes the spam after some time.

Note: –

It is required that the users should keep an eye on their BoxTrapper to ensure that the mail they wish to receive is not trapped.
