A spam filter is a piece of software that’s installed on a mail server and keeps track of all inbound emails to hinder any unwanted ones from reaching a specific mailbox. Several instances of such email messages would be: offers for pills or money, false banking notifications or attachments that contain malicious software sent with the idea of infecting your computer. Spam filters typically examine the content of an email and if they detect particular keywords or other dubious content, they either erase the email or re-send it to the Spam/Junk folder instead of the Inbox folder. Some web hosting providers combine their own email filters with up-to-date databases from spam-monitoring organizations, so as to ensure better security for their customers. Such databases include patterns, mail server IPs and other information about spam email messages recently uncovered by these organizations.

Spam Filters in Cloud Website Hosting

If you reach the decision to host your domain names with us and you select any of our cloud website hosting services, you’ll be able to activate spam filters for any email address that you set up. With several clicks in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel, you can switch between 5 different security levels. In case you still get unsolicited bulk email messages or the email filters start preventing legitimate email messages from entering your mailbox, you can change the level just as easily. The efficiency of our spam detection service is ensured by one of the most widely used email filters – SpamAssassin. If you do not want to risk omitting a genuine email message that may be considered spam due to its content, you can also set up custom spam filters based on the sender, the body or the subject of the message and forward the emails to some other email account where you can read them at a later point in time.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server plans deliver second-to-none anti-spam protection guaranteed by the famous SpamAssassin anti-spam filter, which classifies all incoming email messages on the basis of a spam score in accordance with patterns and parameters, such as the frequency of specific keywords and phrases, the sender, the subject, and so on. When you enable the filter for any email account through the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you can select between five different security levels – from very high to very low. If you continue to receive spam messages, you can increase the level, or if genuine messages are mistaken for spam, you can decrease it. Enabling or disabling the anti-spam protection takes as little as 2 mouse clicks and you can choose if the filtered email messages should be erased straight away or if they should be re-sent to a chosen email account where you can check them later, so as to make certain that the emails that you need won’t disappear.
