A spam filter is an app that prevents unsolicited emails from entering a given mailbox. A huge percentage of the email correspondence around the world is composed of spam messages: offers for pills or cash, sham bank notifications, and so on. That is why, it is really important to activate email filters to avoid not only spam emails, but also any possibility of being conned somehow. Email filters detect various things, so as to guarantee better protection – specific words and phrases or the frequency with which they appear in the text, the sender’s email address, or the IP address of the sender’s outgoing mail server. Web hosting providers frequently use the services of 3rd-party spam-monitoring organizations that offer up-to-date databases in order to render spam filtering better and easier without affecting genuine emails, even if they contain suspicious words or phrases.

Spam Filters in Shared Web Hosting

Our shared web hosting servers employ one of the best spam filters out there. It is called SpamAssassin and is offered with each shared web hosting plan, so if you host your domains with us, you can opt for one of the five levels of safety that the spam filter offers for any mailbox that you’ve got here. You can accomplish this with just 2 clicks from the Email Manager section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel that is used to manage all shared hosting accounts. SpamAssassin ‘scans’ the header field and the content of each message, calculates a spam score and then continues based on the level that you’ve opted for. Every mailbox can have a different setting and you can select if the messages that the filter labels as spam should be deleted or forwarded to a separate email address where you can view them at a later point in time, so as to prevent erasing a genuine email message. Switching to another level or disabling the anti-spam protection is also really easy.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server accounts provide top-of-the-line spam protection ensured by the famous SpamAssassin spam filter, which sorts all incoming messages on the basis of a spam score that depends on patterns and parameters, such as the frequency of particular keywords and phrases, the sender, the subject, and so on. When you activate the filter for any email account via the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you can pick between 5 different levels of safety – from very high to very low. If you still get junk email messages, you can increase the level, or if legitimate messages are labeled as spam, you can lower it. Activating or deactivating the spam protection requires as little as two mouse clicks and you can choose if the filtered messages should be erased right away or if they should be re-sent to a chosen email account where you can check them later, so as to make sure that valuable messages won’t disappear.
