A spam filter is an app that hinders unwanted email messages from reaching a particular mailbox. A large percentage of the email communication around the globe is composed of spam email messages: offers for pills or cash, forged banking notifications, etc. Because of this, it’s pretty important to activate filters to avoid not only unsolicited bulk email messages, but also any possibility of being scammed in some way. Email filters detect different things, so as to deliver better protection – specific words and phrases or the frequency with which they surface in the text, the sender’s address, or the IP address of the sender’s outgoing SMTP email server. Web hosting companies frequently rely on the services of 3rd-party spam-tracking organizations that provide up-to-date databases in order to render email filtering better and easier without affecting legitimate messages, even if they contain suspicious words.

Spam Filters in Shared Website Hosting

If you order a shared website hosting plan from us and if you take advantage of our email services, you’ll be able to set up spam filtering for any of the email accounts that you set up from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. With just several clicks, you can pick between five separate security levels. If you start getting spam, you can begin with the lowest level and then gradually increase the level till you stop getting spam. We make use of one of the very best and most famous email filters available called SpamAssassin. It checks the header section and the body of each and every message that you get and calculates a spam score, based on which it either erases a given email message or allows it to reach your inbox. Hepsia will also allow you to set up custom email filters and either eliminate unwelcome emails or forward them to a third-party address like spam@domain.com where you can examine them again later.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server accounts come with top-of-the-line spam protection ensured by the famous SpamAssassin spam filter, which classifies all inbound emails based on a spam score that depends on parameters and patterns, such as the frequency of specific keywords and phrases, the subject, the sender, and so on. When you activate the filter for any email account via the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel, you can select between 5 different protection levels – from very low to very high. If you keep getting unsolicited bulk messages, you can raise the level, or if authentic messages are labeled as spam, you can lower it. Activating or deactivating the spam protection requires as little as two clicks of the mouse and you can choose if the filtered messages should be deleted momentarily or if they should be redirected to a chosen email account where you can view them at a later time, so as to make sure that important emails will not disappear.
