A spam filter is a software app that blocks unwelcome emails from reaching a given mailbox. A huge percentage of the email correspondence around the world involves spam emails: offers for pills or money, fraudulent bank notifications, and so on. That is why, it’s rather important to use filters to avoid not only spam messages, but also any possibility of being tricked somehow. Filters detect various things, so as to ensure higher levels of protection – specific words and phrases or the frequency with which they appear in the text, the sender’s address, or the IP of the sender’s outbound SMTP mail server. Web hosting companies often rely on the services of 3rd-party spam-tracking organizations that provide up-to-date databases in order to make email filtering better and easier without affecting legitimate messages, even if they include suspicious words or phrases.

Spam Filters in Hosting

The security of any email account that you create in a hosting account with our company is guaranteed by the advanced SpamAssassin spam filter that we employ. You can activate it through the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and it offers five safety levels based on the spam score it gives to each message in accordance with various parameters, such as the recurrence of certain words, the sender, etc. If you keep getting junk email messages, you can always increase the level or if you’re scared that you may miss a legitimate email message, you can mix the automatic spam filter with a custom one and forward all emails from a certain sender to a separate email account. If you reach the decision that you no longer want anti-spam protection for a specific mailbox, you can disable it with no more than several mouse clicks.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you order a semi-dedicated server plan from our company and if you create one or more email accounts with any of the domain names hosted under your account, you’ll be able to activate the advanced, five-level SpamAssassin anti-spam filter that we offer and keep all unsolicited messages out of your inbox. 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 whenever you like. You can also adjust the level of security with several clicks of the mouse in case unsolicited bulk emails still enter your inbox or the anti-spam filter starts deleting authentic emails. Since you can choose whether the spam should be deleted straight away or delivered to another email address, you can create spam@domain.com, for instance, and check all filtered emails there, so as to make sure that you will not omit an email message that you require. The email messages that the email filter permits to go through will still appear in your inbox.
