An email filter is a software app that stops undesired messages from reaching a given mailbox. An enormous percentage of the email correspondence around the globe consists of spam messages: offers for pills or money, forged banking notifications, and so on. That is why, it’s quite important to enable email filters to avoid not only unsolicited bulk emails, but also any chance of being swindled somehow. Spam filters detect various things, so as to provide better security – specific words or the frequency with which they occur in the text, the sender’s address, or the IP of the sender’s SMTP mail server. Hosting companies often use the services of third-party spam-monitoring organizations that provide up-to-the-minute databases to make email filtering better and simpler without affecting genuine messages, even if they comprise suspicious words or phrases.

Spam Filters in Website Hosting

If you get a website hosting plan from us and if you make use of our email services, you’ll be able to set up anti-spam protection for any of the email accounts that you set up from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. With no more than several mouse clicks, you can pick between five different safety levels. In case you start getting spam, you can start with the lowest level and then gradually increase the level until you stop getting spam. We rely on one of the best and most popular spam filters available on the market called SpamAssassin. It checks the header and the body of each and every email message that you receive and determines a spam score, based on which it either deletes a certain message or permits it to enter your inbox. Hepsia will also permit you to set up custom email filters and either eliminate undesirable messages or re-send them to a 3rd-party address like spam@domain.com where you can read them once again at a later time.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server plans offer top-level anti-spam protection ensured by the famous SpamAssassin email filter, which ranks all inbound emails based on a spam score in accordance with patterns and parameters, such as the recurrence of particular keywords, the sender, the subject, etc. When you enable the filter for any account via the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you can select between 5 different levels – from very low to very high. If you keep receiving spam email messages, you can increase the level, or if legitimate email messages are marked as spam, you can decrease it. Activating or deactivating the anti-spam protection requires as little as two clicks and you can select if the filtered emails should be deleted instantly or if they should be delivered to a chosen mailbox where you can check them at a later point in time, so as to make sure that important messages will not get lost.
