Edit The Confirmation Messages

BoxTrapper can automatically responds to emails with messages that the system builds from the following templates:

• • verify ━ BoxTrapper responds with this message when an address that does not exist on the whitelist or blacklist sends an email. This message requests a response to confirm that the sender is legitimate
• • verify released ━ BoxTrapper responds with this message when a person responds to the verify message with an email or a click on the verification link
• • returnverify ━ BoxTrapper responds with this message when the verification process fails
• • blacklist ━ BoxTrapper responds with this message when a blacklisted address sends an email

Click Edit to customize the verification and blacklist message templates.

These templates use the following variables:

• • %email% ━ The sender’s email address
• • %fromname% ━ The recipient’s name
• • %subject% ━ The subject of the sender’s email
• • %acct% ━ The recipient’s username
• • %msgid% ━ The message ID of the sender’s email
• • %headers% ━ The heading information of the sender’s email
• • %if can_verify_web% and %endif% ━ These tags enclose a section that allows BoxTrapper to verify senders through a web link
