An email filter is a software application that hinders undesired messages from reaching a given mailbox. A substantial percentage of the email traffic around the world is composed of spam emails: offers for pills or cash, sham banking notifications, etc. Because of this, it is rather important to enable email filters in order to avoid not only unsolicited bulk emails, but also any possibility of being duped somehow. Spam filters detect different things, so as to provide higher levels of safety – certain words or the frequency with which they occur in the text, the sender’s address, or the IP of the sender’s outgoing SMTP email server. Hosting companies frequently rely on the services of 3rd-party spam-monitoring organizations that provide up-to-date databases to make spam filtering easier and more efficient without affecting genuine messages, even if they contain suspicious words or phrases.

Spam Filters in Cloud Hosting

If you reach the decision to host your domains with us and you select any of our cloud hosting packages, you’ll be able to set up anti-spam protection for any mailbox that you create. With several clicks in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you can configure five separate protection levels. In case you still get spam emails or the spam filters start preventing legitimate email messages from entering your mailbox, you can switch to some other level just as easily. The efficiency of our anti-spam service is guaranteed by one of the most widely used email filters – SpamAssassin. If you don’t want to risk skipping a genuine email that may be regarded as spam due to its content, you can also set up custom filters based on the sender, the body or the subject of the email message and forward the emails to some other mailbox where you can examine them at a later time.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server accounts provide top-level spam protection guaranteed by the popular SpamAssassin anti-spam filter, which rates all incoming email messages on the basis of a spam score that depends on patterns and parameters, such as the recurrence of certain keywords and phrases, the subject, the sender, and so on. When you activate the filter for any mailbox through the Hepsia Control Panel’s Email Manager section, you can choose between 5 separate security levels – from very high to very low. If you keep getting spam, you can raise the level, or if genuine messages are classified as spam, you can lower it. Activating or deactivating the spam protection takes as little as 2 mouse clicks and you can choose if the filtered emails should be erased straight away or if they should be delivered to a chosen mailbox where you can examine them at a later time, so as to make sure that important email messages will not disappear.
