A spam filter is an app that impedes unwelcome email messages from reaching a given mailbox. A large percentage of the email communication around the globe involves spam emails: offers for pills or cash, sham banking notifications, and so on. That is why, it’s rather important to activate email filters in order to avoid not only unsolicited bulk emails, but also any chance of being duped somehow. Email filters detect different things, so as to provide better safety – particular words or the frequency with which they appear in the text, the sender’s email address, or the IP of the sender’s SMTP server. Web hosts frequently resort to the services of 3rd-party spam-monitoring organizations that offer up-to-date databases to render email filtering better and easier without affecting authentic messages, even if they comprise suspicious words or phrases.

Spam Filters in Web Hosting

Our web hosting servers employ one of the best anti-spam filters available. It’s called SpamAssassin and is included with each hosting package, so in case you host your domains with our company, you can select one of the 5 safety levels that the spam filter offers for any email account that you’ve got here. You can do this with just 2 clicks of the mouse from the Email Manager section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel that is used to manage all shared web hosting accounts. SpamAssassin ‘scans’ the header section and the body of each email, calculates a spam score and then proceeds according to the level that you have opted for. Each mailbox can have a different level and you can choose if the messages that the filter flags as spam should be deleted or re-sent to a separate email account where you can read them at a later point in time, so as to prevent deleting a legitimate message. Switching to a different level or deactivating the protection is also unbelievably easy.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you decide to use the mail service that comes with our semi-dedicated servers, you can keep all unasked-for messages away from your inbox by enabling the five-level spam protection service that we provide with every semi-dedicated server package. This can be achieved through the feature-loaded Email Manager section of the hosting Control Panel and we use the advanced SpamAssassin spam filter to ensure that we provide the very best possible security for our clients. You can have a different level of protection for each email account and you can select whether the filtered emails should be deleted or delivered to a separate mailbox where you can check them at a later time to make certain that you will not skip legitimate emails. Changing the level of protection or disabling the spam protection is also easy and takes several clicks.
