Activating and setting up BoxTrapper

Introduction

This tutorial explains how to activate and set up BoxTrapper in cPanel.

• BoxTrapper is a tool that allows blocking the receipt of any email whose sender has not been previously included in the account holder's allowed address list. It acts as an email filter, allowing messages from new senders to enter the recipient's inbox only after their email address has been added as a known address. In this way, we can create a filter that allows receiving emails only from the correspondence addresses we wish, thus avoiding contact with unknown senders or spam messages.

Requirements

• a cPanel account

Steps to Follow

• after logging in to the cPanel control panel, in the interface that will be displayed, we look for the section "EMAIL ADDRESS", and there we click on "BoxTrapper"

• in the next window, press the "activate" button
