A spam filter is a software app that stops unasked-for emails from entering a given inbox. An immense percentage of the email correspondence around the world involves spam email messages: offers for pills or money, forged banking notifications, and so on. That’s why, it’s quite important to use email filters to avoid not only spam emails, but also any possibility of being tricked in some way. Filters detect different things, so as to guarantee higher levels of safety – particular words and phrases or the frequency with which they occur in the text, the sender’s address, or the IP address of the sender’s outbound email server. Hosting companies frequently resort to the services of 3rd-party spam-detecting organizations that offer up-to-the-minute databases to make spam filtering easier and more effective without affecting legitimate email messages, even if they comprise suspicious words.

Spam Filters in Cloud Web Hosting

If you get a cloud web hosting plan from our company and if you make use of our mail services, you’ll be able to activate 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 pick between five different levels of security. If you start receiving spam, you can start with the lowest one and then slowly increase the level till you stop getting spam. We use one of the very best and most popular filters available on the market called SpamAssassin. It analyzes the header section and the body of each email message that you receive and determines a spam score, based on which it either deletes a certain message or allows it to enter your mailbox. The Hepsia Control Panel will also allow you to set up custom email filters and either get rid of unasked-for messages or re-send them to a 3rd-party address like spam@domain.com where you can view them once more later.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting

In case you take advantage of one of our Linux semi-dedicated packages, you won’t need to worry about unsolicited bulk messages cramming your mailboxes every now and then, as you can take advantage of the popular SpamAssassin spam filter that we provide with every semi-dedicated account. Our custom-built Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to enable the filter for any email account with a few clicks of the mouse and you can pick one of the five levels of safety – from very high to very low. The level can be changed at any moment if, for instance, legitimate messages get blocked, or if junk emails go through and appear in your inbox. To be on the safe side, you can choose all filtered email messages to be re-sent to a special email account like spam@your-domain.com and not to be deleted. In this way, you can check them every now and then to ensure that you haven’t missed out on an authentic email.
