I have Boxtrapper enabled for an email account that is forwarded. It seems that the forward action is taken before Boxtrapper can act. The net result is that junk mail is forwarded, but is not retained for the original email address.

 

Example:

 

anytest@anydomain.com has mail forwarded to mytest@somedomain.com .

 

An unwelcome message is sent to anytest@anydomain.com .

 

mytest@somedomain.com received the email but not anytest@anydomain.com .

 

Is there a way to have Boxtrapper run before the forwarders?

 

Thanks.

No processing of email is done on forwarded email. The server just passes it along to where you tell it to go.

 

So it won't be possible to have boxtrapper work on a forwarded email address.

I believe that some processing is, in fact done. SPAM Assassin sees every piece of mail and does so before forwarding. I can provide header information from forwarded email.
