Well I was pretty disappointed with cPanel Pro. BoxTrapper was the only app. that I thought would be useful, but it isn't. BoxTrapper is a clone of Active Spam Killer. BoxTrapper has some nice features, you can view the queue and log and change the text sent out to verify, all via the gui. With ASK it has to be done via email.
The down side is that Boxtrapper sends out the email Headers - now nobody but a geek is familiar with Headers, they are always hidden. So internet user gets an email saying to activate and a big list of headers that mean absolutely nothing to them. They will most probably verify - EVEN IF THEY NEVER SENT THE EMAIL. Simply because they haven't a clue what the email is about. The other side of the coin is that some people will be confused by the headers and simply delete the verification email. ASK sends the first X lines (not the headers) of the email, this way people can see if they really did want you to receive this email.
ASK also has a nice feature where mail that includes a code will always go thru - the code can simply be a slogon such as "Best hosting, best prices". Great for when you initiate an email communication and don't want the replyee to have to go thru verification.
Boxtrapper in it's current form is useless.
