An email filter is an application that obstructs unwelcome messages from reaching a given inbox. An enormous percentage of the email communication around the globe involves spam messages: offers for pills or cash, sham bank notifications, and so on. For this reason, it is rather important to use filters in order to avoid not only unsolicited bulk messages, but also any chance of being ripped off in some way. Email filters detect different things, so as to ensure better security – certain words and phrases or the frequency with which they appear in the text, the sender’s email address, or the IP of the sender’s outgoing mail server. Web hosting providers often use the services of 3rd-party spam-monitoring organizations that offer up-to-date databases in order to render email filtering better and simpler without affecting genuine email messages, even if they include suspicious words.

Spam Filters in Shared Website Hosting

Our shared website hosting servers employ one of the very best spam filters available on the market. It is called SpamAssassin and is available with each and every plan, so in case you host your domains with us, you can pick one of the 5 levels of safety that the anti-spam filter offers for any email account that you’ve got here. You can accomplish this with only two clicks from the Email Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel that’s used to manage all cloud hosting accounts. SpamAssassin checks the header section and the content of each email message, calculates a spam score and then continues in accordance with the level that you have chosen. Every email account can have a different setting and you can select whether the messages that the spam filter classifies as spam should be erased or forwarded to a different email address where you can review them later, so as to prevent deleting an authentic message. Changing the level or disabling the anti-spam protection is also amazingly easy.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated server packages offer top anti-spam protection guaranteed by the popular SpamAssassin filter, which ranks all incoming messages based on a spam score that depends on patterns and parameters, such as the frequency of certain keywords, the sender, the subject, and so on. When you activate the filter for any email account through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section, you can pick between 5 different levels – from very high to very low. If you keep receiving unsolicited bulk email messages, you can increase the level, or if authentic messages are flagged as spam, you can lower it. Activating or deactivating the anti-spam protection takes as little as two clicks of the mouse and you can select if the filtered messages should be deleted instantaneously or if they should be redirected to a designated email address where you can check them at a later time, so as to ensure that valuable emails will not get lost.
