A spam filter is a software application that obstructs unwelcome messages from entering a particular inbox. A significant percentage of the email traffic around the globe involves spam messages: offers for pills or cash, false banking notifications, etc. Because of this, it’s extremely important to activate email filters to avoid not only spam email messages, but also any chance of being ripped off somehow. Email filters detect various things, so as to guarantee better protection – specific words and phrases or the frequency with which they occur in the text, the sender’s address, or the IP of the sender’s email server. Web hosting companies frequently use the services of third-party spam-tracking organizations that provide up-to-date databases to render spam filtering better and simpler without affecting authentic email messages, even if they comprise suspicious words.

Spam Filters in Shared Hosting

If you order a shared hosting plan from our company and if you take advantage of our mail services, you’ll be able to set up anti-spam protection for any of the mailboxes that you set up from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel. With no more than a few clicks of the mouse, you can select between 5 separate safety levels. If you start receiving spam, you can begin with the lowest one and then slowly raise the level until you stop getting spam. We make use of one of the very best and most famous filters available called SpamAssassin. It checks the header field and the body of every message that you get and calculates a spam score, based on which it either deletes a given message or allows it to enter your mailbox. Hepsia will also permit you to activate custom email filters and either erase unwelcome messages or re-send them to a 3rd-party email address such as spam@domain.com where you can read them once more at a later point in time.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you get a semi-dedicated server package from our company and if you create one or more mailboxes with any of the domains hosted in the account, you’ll be able to enable the powerful, five-level SpamAssassin filter that we provide and keep all unwelcome emails out of your mailbox. This option is accessible through the Hepsia Control Panel’s Email Manager section and it can be enabled or disabled for any email account at any moment. You can also tweak the security level with several clicks if unsolicited bulk email messages continue to reach your inbox or the email filter begins erasing authentic email messages. As you can choose if the spam should be deleted instantly or forwarded to a separate mailbox, you can create spam@domain.com, for instance, and check all filtered messages there, so as to make certain that you will not miss a message that you require. The emails that the anti-spam filter allows to proceed will still appear in your inbox.
