What is BoxTrapper?
Through a challenge-response verification process, the BoxTrapper utility in cPanel removes spam from your inbox. By requiring all email senders who aren’t on your Whitelist to reply to a verification email before you can receive their mail, Box Trapper guards against spam in your inbox.
