I would just like to thank SHadmin for re-enabling Boxtrapper. For those of us who have used it, it is an invaluable tool to keep unwanted spam out of our inbox's. One of our e-mail addresses actually got e-mail about children in certain kinds of pictures, which is what prompted me to use it.

Since I started using it, spam has been killed. literally. Unless it is a real person wanting to contact me about something, then I don't get the e-mail. THis is an extremely valuable part of any site. Thanks SHadmin. Thank you very much!

YES i liove it man

BoxTrapper, once enabled, sets a responder on the email account the requires confirmation from the sender before you receive their message. This is very useful in eliminating spam, as spammers do not respond. If you enable auto white listing (recommended), once the sender replies as instructed, they are added to a "white list" in order to allow them to send mail without having to confirm again.

You can also manually add any addresses of people you already correspond with (your address book in your mail client is a good place to start) to the white list, so you don't have to bother them with getting approved. Pay attention to the format of the addresses listed above the white list box to avoid errors.

Wow, I never used Boxtrapper before, but now I know what it is, I'll be using it, thankyou!

thnx SHadmin
i think i saw it before

I didnt have a clue what it was but it sounds like a really good system the only downside i could think of is people that are to lazy to comfirm there email adress and that drives away possbile customers or fans or what ever it was that they were. I still plan on using it though.

wow. this is good service that we need as active onliner,...
i hate about spam acrivities taht make my inbox fill of junk,
so if i use this, i can minimalis the worse thing in my inbox i think....
