BoxTrapper is a tool that filters spam from the Inbox through a process called challenge-response verification.
When an account that has BoxTrapper enabled receives an email, BoxTrapper automatically sends a fully customizable verification email in response. The sender must complete the verification process before the email can pass through to the Inbox.
