• Email Verification
(BoxTrapper) •
BoxTrapper
protects your Inbox from spam by forcing all people not
on your white list to reply to a verification email before
they can send mail to you. This is an effective way to make
sure only people you "approve" can send you email.
Spam will not be able to enter your Inbox without prior
approval from you as the white list manager.

Confirmation Messages
Allows you to change the different messages that users will
receive when sending messages to an account with the BoxTrapper
enabled. There are three types of messages that are used
with the BoxTrapper software:
-
verify
- This confirmation message is the first email to be sent
to someone when they first send you an email. You must
leave the "verify#%msgid%" variable exactly
as it appears in the "Subject" line in order
for this confirmation message to work properly. It is
also a good idea to leave the "%email%" variable
in the "To" line in order to validate the email
address being used. Click on the Save
button after you have modified the "verify"
confirmation email.
-
blacklist - If you deny an email address
verification, the sender will receive the blacklist message
stating that you are not accepting emails from the sender's
email address. You can modify the message to your specific
needs. Variables used include (%email%, %subject%, %acct%,
and %headers%). Click on the Save button
after you have modified the "blacklist" confirmation
email.
-
returnverify - This confirmation message
sends an email to the sender's email address stating that
you have approved their email address for sending email
to your email account. You can modify the message to your
specific needs. Variables used include (%email%, %subject%,
%acct%, and %headers%). Click on the Save
button after you have modified the "returnverify"
confirmation email.
To edit any of the confirmation messages, click on the Edit
button next to the confirmation type. If you have modified
any of the confirmation messages and would like to restore
the message to its default message, click on the Reset
to default button.
You
can edit any of the confirmation messages to fit your own
personal preferences. When you have finished modifying your
confirmation messages, click on the Go Back
link. When the page loads, click on the Go Back
link one more time. Then move on to the next section below,
"Edit Forward/White/Black/Ignore Lists."
Edit
Forward/White/Black/Ignore Lists
Allows you to permit, deny, and ignore email messages from
certain accounts. There are four types of lists available
in the BoxTrapper software. These include:
-
Forward
List - The forward list is a list of email address
where white listed and verified mail should be sent to
in addition to the address BoxTrapper is protecting.
-
White List - The white list is a list
of content that will be allowed into your inbox with a
confirmation. The list should contain one entry per line.
Entries should be in the format of a perl regular expression.
For example: john@domain.com would be john\@domain\.com
and all addresses at domain.com would be .+\@domain\.com
-
Ignore List
- The ignore list is a list of users or subjects to prevent
from emailing you. The list should contain one entry per
line. Entries should be in the format of a perl regular
expression. For example: john@domain.com would be john\@domain\.com
and all addresses at domain.com would be .+\@domain\.com
-
Black List - The black list is a list
of content to prevent emailing you. The sender of black
listed content will also receive a warning message of
your choice. The list should contain one entry per line.
Entries should be in the format of a perl regular expression.
For example: john@domain.com would be john\@domain\.com
and all addresses at domain.com would be .+\@domain\.com
To edit any of the list, click on the Edit TYPE List
link. Once you have modified a list based on your specific
needs, click on the Save button.
