An email filter is a software app that prevents unwelcome messages from entering a given mailbox. A huge percentage of the email traffic around the world consists of spam emails: offers for pills or money, false banking notifications, etc. That is why, it is extremely important to activate filters in order to avoid not only spam emails, but also any possibility of being ripped off somehow. Email filters detect different things, so as to ensure higher levels of safety – specific 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. Hosting companies often rely on the services of 3rd-party spam-monitoring organizations that offer up-to-the-minute databases to make spam filtering simpler and more effective without affecting genuine email messages, even if they include suspicious words or phrases.

Spam Filters in Hosting

If you order a hosting package from our company and if you make use of our email services, you’ll be able to activate anti-spam protection for any of the email accounts that you set up from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel. With just several clicks, you can select between five separate security levels. In case you start getting spam, you can start with the lowest one and then slowly increase the level till you stop getting spam. We make use of one of the best and most famous email filters available on the market called SpamAssassin. It ‘scans’ the header section and the body of each email that you receive and calculates a spam score, based on which it either erases a given message or permits it to reach your inbox. Hepsia will also permit you to create custom spam filters and either delete undesired email messages or redirect them to a 3rd-party email address such as spam@domain.com where you can read them again at a later point in time.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you decide to use the mail service that comes with our semi-dedicated servers, you can keep all undesired messages away from your mailbox by enabling the five-level spam protection service that we offer with each semi-dedicated server package. This can be accomplished through the feature-ridden Email Manager section of the hosting Control Panel and we rely on the powerful SpamAssassin spam filter to make certain that we offer the best possible protection for our customers. You can have a different anti-spam level for each mailbox and you can select if the filtered messages should be deleted or re-sent to a different mailbox where you can view them later so as to make sure that you will not miss authentic email messages. Switching to another level or disabling the protection is also easy and takes several clicks.
