A spam filter is an application that blocks undesirable email messages from reaching a given mailbox. A significant percentage of the email correspondence around the globe consists of spam messages: offers for pills or money, false bank notifications, and so on. This is why, it is extremely important to set up filters to avoid not only unsolicited bulk emails, but also any possibility of being scammed in some way. Filters detect various things, so as to guarantee better security – certain words or the frequency with which they occur in the text, the sender’s email address, or the IP of the sender’s outgoing email server. Hosting companies frequently resort to the services of third-party spam-tracking organizations that offer up-to-the-minute databases in order to render spam filtering better and simpler without affecting authentic email messages, even if they include suspicious words or phrases.

Spam Filters in Shared Hosting

If you get a shared hosting package from our company and if you take advantage of our mail services, you’ll be able to set up spam filters for any of the mailboxes that you set up from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. With no more than several mouse clicks, you can choose between five separate safety levels. In case you start receiving spam, you can start with the lowest one and then slowly boost the level until you stop receiving spam. We rely on one of the very best and most famous spam filters available on the market called SpamAssassin. It analyzes the header section and the body of each email message that you get and determines a spam score, based on which it either erases a particular message or allows it to enter your mailbox. Hepsia will also allow you to set up custom filters and either erase undesirable messages or forward them to a 3rd-party email address such as spam@domain.com where you can view them again later.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server plans deliver top anti-spam protection guaranteed by the popular SpamAssassin anti-spam filter, which ranks all incoming email messages on the basis of a spam score in accordance with parameters and patterns, such as the frequency of certain keywords, the sender, the subject, and so on. When you activate the filter for any mailbox via the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel, you can pick between five different protection levels – from very low to very high. If you keep receiving spam messages, you can increase the level, or if legitimate messages are reported as spam, you can lower it. Activating or deactivating the anti-spam protection requires as little as two clicks of the mouse and you can choose if the filtered messages should be deleted immediately or if they should be redirected to a designated email address where you can read them later, so as to make certain that the messages that you need will not disappear.
