Boxtrapper was removed because it was causing problems. I don't think they plan to reinstall it.

I find that my customers who used it didn't understand it and it caused endless problems. Nice idea, difficult for people to understand.

X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.1.0 (2005-09-13) on
gator48.hostgator.com
X-Spam-Level:
X-Spam-Status: No, score=0.0 required=5.0 tests=none autolearn=ham
version=3.1.0

hmmmm not sure how can you test to see if it would actually filter out the spam

You can turn on the spam box, which will save any spam that it finds.

This header shows that spam assassin is working. SCORE is the spam score of the spam needed to be found as spam. The score of this message is 0.0, so it isn't spam. Autolearn=ham means that it knows who sent this message and it thinks they aren't a spammer because its seen messages from them going in and out (in replies) that were not spam.
