A spam filter is a software application that blocks undesired emails from reaching a particular inbox. An immense percentage of the email communication around the world involves spam emails: offers for pills or money, fake banking notifications, and so on. That is why, it is extremely important to use filters in order to avoid not only unsolicited bulk email messages, but also any possibility of being ripped off somehow. Spam filters detect various things, so as to ensure higher levels of security – certain words and phrases or the frequency with which they occur in the text, the sender’s address, or the IP of the sender’s outbound SMTP server. Web hosting providers often resort to the services of third-party spam-detecting organizations that offer up-to-date databases in order to make spam filtering simpler and more efficient without affecting authentic emails, even if they include suspicious words.

Spam Filters in Cloud Website Hosting

The security of any mailbox that you create under a cloud website hosting account with our company is guaranteed by the powerful SpamAssassin filter that we use. You can activate it through the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel and it offers five levels of security based on the spam score it gives to each email in accordance with various parameters, such as the recurrence of particular words and phrases, the sender, and so on. If you keep receiving junk email messages, you can always raise the level or if you’re scared that you may miss an authentic email message, you can mix the automated filter with a custom one and forward all messages from a given sender to a different email address. In case you decide that you no longer need an email filter for a given email account, you can deactivate it with no more than a few clicks of the mouse.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you order a semi-dedicated server package from our company and if you set up one or more email addresses with any of the domain names hosted in the account, you’ll be able to activate the advanced, 5-level SpamAssassin filter that we provide and keep all unwanted emails out of your mailbox. This service is accessible through the Email Manager section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and it can be enabled or disabled for any email account at any time. You can also change the safety level with a couple of clicks in case spam email messages still enter your mailbox or the anti-spam filter begins removing legitimate email messages. Since you can select whether the spam should be deleted momentarily or redirected to another email account, you can create spam@domain.com, for instance, and view all filtered messages there, so as to make certain that you won’t omit a message that you require. The email messages that the email filter allows to go through will still appear in your inbox.
