Boxtrapper automatically whitelists addresses you send to. Plus you can
manually whitelist addresses.

It's just that I regularly get around 100 spam emails a day trying selling
me Viagra and wanting to know if I am happy with the size of my penis (a guy
could get paranoid).

I just thought that there must be a better way of dealing with spam.
