A spam filter is a software application that prevents undesired emails from entering a particular mailbox. A significant percentage of the email traffic around the globe is composed of spam email messages: offers for pills or cash, forged banking notifications, and so on. For this reason, it’s extremely important to use filters in order to avoid not only spam messages, but also any possibility of being swindled somehow. Email filters detect different things, so as to ensure higher levels of protection – specific words or the frequency with which they appear in the text, the sender’s address, or the IP of the sender’s outbound SMTP server. Web hosting providers frequently resort to the services of third-party spam-tracing organizations that provide up-to-the-minute databases to render spam filtering simpler and more efficient without affecting genuine email messages, even if they include suspicious words or phrases.

Spam Filters in Cloud Website Hosting

In case you reach the decision to host your domains with our company and you select any of our cloud website hosting plans, you will be able to activate anti-spam protection for any mailbox that you set up. With a few mouse clicks in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you can configure 5 different levels of protection. If you still receive unsolicited bulk email messages or the filters start preventing legitimate emails from entering your mailbox, you can change the level just as easily. The efficiency of our anti-spam service is ensured by one of the most widely used spam filters – SpamAssassin. If you don’t want to risk skipping a legitimate message that may be mistaken for spam due to its content, you can also configure custom filters based on the sender, the body or the subject of the message and re-send the emails to a separate email address where you can examine them at a later point in time.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you order a semi-dedicated server plan from our company and if you set up one or more email accounts with any of the domain names hosted under the account, you will be able to enable the powerful, 5-level SpamAssassin filter that we offer and keep all unwelcome email messages out of your inbox. This service is accessible through the Email Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel and it can be activated or deactivated for any email account whenever you want. You can also tweak the protection level with a few mouse clicks in case junk emails continue to enter your mailbox or the email filter begins deleting genuine email messages. As you can select if the spam should be deleted instantly or re-sent to a separate email address, you can create spam@domain.com, for instance, and view all filtered messages there, so as to make certain that you won’t omit a message that you require. The email messages that the spam filter allows to go through will still be received in your mailbox.
