A spam filter is a software application that impedes unsolicited emails from entering a given inbox. A large percentage of the email communication around the world consists of spam email messages: offers for pills or cash, false bank notifications, and so on. Because of this, it’s pretty important to use filters in order to avoid not only unsolicited bulk messages, but also any chance of being conned somehow. Email filters detect different things, so as to ensure higher levels of security – particular words or the frequency with which they appear in the text, the sender’s email address, or the IP address of the sender’s SMTP email server. Hosting providers often resort to the services of 3rd-party spam-detecting organizations that provide up-to-the-minute databases to make email filtering easier and more effective without affecting genuine email messages, even if they contain suspicious words.

Spam Filters in Cloud Web Hosting

The safety of any mailbox that you create in a cloud web hosting account with our company is guaranteed by the advanced SpamAssassin email filter that we employ. You can enable it via the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and it offers five levels of protection based on the spam score given to each email message in accordance with various criteria, such as the recurrence of specific words, the sender, and so on. If you keep getting unsolicited bulk email messages, you can always raise the level or if you are afraid that you may miss an authentic email, you can mix the automated spam filter with a custom one and forward all emails from a specific sender to some other mailbox. If you reach the decision that you no longer need an email filter for a certain mailbox, you can deactivate it with just a few clicks of the mouse.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you take advantage of one of our Linux semi-dedicated packages, you won’t need to worry about junk emails cramming your mailboxes every once in a while, as you can take advantage of the popular SpamAssassin filter that we offer with every semi-dedicated hosting account. Our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to activate the filter for any email account with several clicks and you can select one of the five levels of safety – from very high to very low. The level can be altered at any moment if, for instance, genuine emails get blocked, or if junk email messages go through and reach your Inbox folder. To take no chances, you can choose all filtered emails to be redirected to a special mailbox like spam@your-domain.com and not to be deleted. Thus, you can check them every now and then to make sure that you haven’t missed out on a genuine email message.
