A spam filter is a software application that prevents unsolicited messages from reaching a particular mailbox. An immense percentage of the email traffic around the globe is composed of spam email messages: offers for pills or cash, fraudulent bank notifications, etc. Because of this, it’s rather important to set up email filters in order to avoid not only spam emails, but also any chance of being tricked somehow. Spam filters detect different things, so as to provide higher levels of protection – specific words and phrases or the frequency with which they surface in the text, the sender’s email address, or the IP address of the sender’s outgoing email server. Hosting providers often rely on the services of 3rd-party spam-detecting organizations that provide up-to-date databases in order to render spam filtering simpler and more effective without affecting genuine emails, even if they comprise suspicious words or phrases.

Spam Filters in Shared Hosting

The protection of any mailbox that you set up under a shared hosting account with our company is ensured by the advanced SpamAssassin email filter that we employ. 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 given to each and every email message in accordance with various parameters, such as the frequency of given words and phrases, the sender, and so on. If you keep receiving junk messages, you can always raise the level or if you’re scared that you may omit an authentic email message, you can mix the automated email filter with a custom one and forward all email messages from a particular sender to some other mailbox. If you decide that you no longer need anti-spam protection for a particular email account, you can disable it with no more than a couple of mouse clicks.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting

In case you use one of our semi-dedicated hosting, you won’t have to worry about unsolicited bulk email messages occupying your mailboxes every now and then, as you can resort to the popular SpamAssassin email filter that we provide with each and every semi-dedicated hosting account. Our in-house developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel will allow you to enable the filter for any mailbox with a couple of clicks of the mouse and you can select any of the five levels of security – from very high to very low. The level can be altered at any time if, for instance, genuine emails get filtered, or if junk emails go through and appear in your Inbox folder. To be on the safe side, you can choose all filtered messages to be re-sent to a special email account such as spam@your-domain.com and not to be deleted. Thus, you can check them from time to time to make sure that you have not omitted a genuine email.
