A spam filter is a software app that prevents undesirable email messages from entering a particular inbox. A substantial percentage of the email traffic around the globe consists of spam messages: offers for pills or cash, false bank notifications, etc. For this reason, it’s really important to set up email filters to avoid not only unsolicited bulk email messages, but also any possibility of being tricked in some way. Filters detect various things, so as to guarantee better protection – certain words or the frequency with which they appear in the text, the sender’s email address, or the IP address of the sender’s SMTP mail server. Hosting providers often make use of the services of third-party spam-tracing organizations that offer up-to-date databases to render spam filtering better and easier without affecting legitimate email messages, even if they include suspicious words.

Spam Filters in Shared Website Hosting

If you order a shared website hosting package from our company and if you make use of our mail 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 Control Panel. With only several clicks, you can pick between five separate levels of safety. If you start receiving spam, you can begin with the lowest one and then slowly boost the level till you stop getting spam. We rely on one of the very best and most famous spam filters available called SpamAssassin. It analyzes the header field and the body of every message that you get and determines a spam score, based on which it either erases a certain email or permits it to enter your inbox. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel will also permit you to create custom spam filters and either delete unasked-for email messages or re-send them to a third-party address such as spam@domain.com where you can examine them once more later.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated server accounts come with top-level spam protection guaranteed by the famous SpamAssassin anti-spam filter, which ranks all incoming messages on the basis of a spam score in accordance with parameters and patterns, such as the frequency of particular keywords and phrases, the sender, the subject, and so on. When you activate the filter for any email account via the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel, you can pick between five different levels of security – from very high to very low. If you still get unsolicited bulk email messages, you can raise the level, or if genuine emails are flagged as spam, you can lower it. Enabling or disabling the anti-spam protection takes as little as 2 mouse clicks and you can select if the filtered emails should be deleted right away or if they should be delivered to a designated email address where you can view them at a later point in time, so as to make sure that valuable messages will not disappear.
