Most of the emails sent around the globe these days are spam, i.e. undesired messages with different offers or with hyperlinks to malware. Not only are such emails aggravating, but they also pose a risk to your own personal computer, not to mention that you may get swindled. That is the reason why numerous email service providers make use of email filters, which are apps that ‘scan’ all inbound messages and filter out the undesirable ones on the basis of their content – what words or phrases an email includes and how often they are mentioned, what site a given hyperlink opens, what SMTP email server the email is sent from, and so on. Some web hosts also use the databases of spam-tracking organizations devoted to the provision of the most up-to-the-minute information about unsolicited messages, to ensure that their clients won’t receive any email message in their mailbox that should not be there.

Spam Filters in Web Hosting

Our web hosting servers employ one of the best spam filters out there. It is called SpamAssassin and is offered with every shared hosting plan, so in case you host your domain names with us, you can pick one of the five levels of safety that the filter offers for any mailbox that you’ve got here. You can do this with only 2 clicks of the mouse from the Email Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel that is used to manage all cloud web hosting accounts. SpamAssassin examines the header field and the body of each email message, gives it a spam score and then continues based on the level that you have selected. Each mailbox can have a different level and you can select whether the messages that the anti-spam filter marks as spam should be erased or forwarded to another mailbox where you can review them at a later time, so as to prevent deleting an authentic email. Changing the level or disabling the spam protection is also really easy.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you get a semi-dedicated server plan from our company and if you create one or more email accounts with any of the domains hosted under your account, you’ll be able to activate the powerful, five-level SpamAssassin filter that we offer and keep all unwelcome email messages away from your inbox. This functionality is accessible through the Hepsia Control Panel’s Email Manager section and it can be enabled or disabled for any mailbox at any time. You can also adjust the security level with several clicks if spam email messages continue to appear in your inbox or the email filter starts deleting authentic messages. Since you can choose if the spam should be erased instantly or re-sent to a separate email address, you can set up spam@domain.com, for instance, and view all filtered messages there, so as to make certain that you will not miss an email message that you require. The messages that the spam filter allows to proceed will still appear in your inbox.
