- This tutorial assumes you’ve already logged in to cPanel, and are starting on the home screen.
- Now let’s learn how to enable spam protection.
- Click the BoxTrapper icon.
- Box Trapper protects your inbox from spam by requiring all email senders who aren’t on your Whitelist, to reply to a verification email before you can receive their mail.
- To enable BoxTrapper for an email address, click “Manage”.
- Then click the “Enable” button.
- BoxTrapper has now been enabled for this address. Click “Go Back”.
- Next you’ll want to configure your BoxTrapper settings. Click the “Configure Settings” link.
- You can set various options here, including auto-whitelisting for addresses you send email to.
- Next click “Edit Confirmation Messages”.
- From here you can edit the standard confirmation messages already setup for you.
- Next, click “Edit White/Black/Ignore Lists”.
- From here you can add addresses to your Whitelist, Blacklist, and Ignore list.
- Once you have BoxTrapper setup the way you want, you’ll notice a huge reduction in spam.
- Another option for controlling spam is to use SpamAssassin.
- You can use SpamAssassin in conjunction with BoxTrapper for maximum spam control, or you can use BoxTrapper on its own, or SpamAssassin on its own.
- Click to Enable SpamAssassin.
- Then click “Go Back”.
- You’ll now want to configure SpamAssassin, so click the “Configure” button.
- From here you can setup your blacklist with email addresses you KNOW are spam …
- … and can add email addresses to your whitelist … addresses you KNOW are NOT spam.
