how to prevent spam with BoxTrapper in cpanel server ?
Silicon House provides Fully Managed Dedicated Server with the unlimited cPanel/WHM lisence. BoxTrapper is a tool that filters spam from your inbox through a process called challenge-response verification. When an account that has BoxTrapper enabled receives an email, BoxTrapper automatically sends a fully customization verification email in response. The sender must complete the verification process before the email can pass through to the inbox. BoxTrapper tool is used to reduce the amount of spam you receive. If the sender does not verify the email, the verification fails and BoxTrapper never clears the message for delivery. After a period of time, the system automatically deletes the spam.
