A spam filter is a software app that hinders unwelcome email messages from reaching a particular inbox. A significant percentage of the email correspondence around the globe is composed of spam emails: offers for pills or cash, fraudulent banking notifications, etc. This is why, it’s very important to set up email filters in order to avoid not only spam emails, but also any chance of being ripped off in some way. Filters detect different things, so as to deliver better security – particular words or the frequency with which they occur in the text, the sender’s email address, or the IP of the sender’s outgoing SMTP server. Web hosting companies often use the services of third-party spam-tracing organizations that provide up-to-the-minute databases to render email filtering better and simpler without affecting genuine emails, even if they include suspicious words or phrases.

Spam Filters in Cloud Hosting

If you order a cloud hosting package from our company and if you use our email services, you’ll be able to set up spam filtering 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 5 separate protection levels. If you start receiving spam, you can begin with the lowest one and then slowly increase the level till you stop getting spam. We make use of one of the very best and most famous filters available called SpamAssassin. It examines the header section and the body of each email message that you receive and calculates a spam score, based on which it either deletes a particular message or allows it to enter your mailbox. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel will also allow you to activate custom email filters and either erase undesired email messages or forward them to a third-party email address such as spam@domain.com where you can check them once more at a later point in time.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you take advantage of one of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages, you won’t need to worry about unsolicited bulk messages cramming your mailboxes all the time, as you can make use of the famous SpamAssassin anti-spam filter that we provide with each semi-dedicated hosting account. Our in-house created Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to enable the filter for any email account with a couple of mouse clicks and you can choose one of the five safety levels – from very high to very low.

To be on the safe side, you can choose all filtered emails to be re-sent to a special mailbox like spam@your-domain.com and not to be erased. Thus, you can go through them every now and then to make sure that you haven’t omitted a legitimate email.
