An email filter is a software application that obstructs unasked-for emails from entering a particular mailbox. An immense percentage of the email traffic around the world consists of spam email messages: offers for pills or money, false bank notifications, etc. Because of this, it is really important to set up email filters in order to avoid not only spam messages, but also any possibility of being conned in some way. Email filters detect various things, so as to deliver better security – particular words or the frequency with which they surface in the text, the sender’s address, or the IP of the sender’s outgoing SMTP server. Hosting providers often make use of the services of third-party spam-monitoring organizations that offer up-to-the-minute databases in order to make email filtering simpler and more efficient without affecting authentic messages, even if they include suspicious words or phrases.

Spam Filters in Shared Hosting

If you get a shared hosting plan from our company and if you use 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 hosting Control Panel. With just a couple of clicks, you can select between five different safety levels. In case you start receiving spam, you can begin with the lowest one and then gradually raise the level till you stop getting spam. We make use of one of the very best and most popular filters available called SpamAssassin. It ‘scans’ the header and the body of every email that you get and determines a spam score, based on which it either erases a particular email or allows it to reach your inbox. Hepsia will also allow you to activate custom email filters and either get rid of undesirable emails or send them to a 3rd-party email address like spam@domain.com where you can read them once more at a later point in time.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated server packages offer top-notch spam protection guaranteed by the famous SpamAssassin filter, which rates all incoming messages based on a spam score in accordance with patterns and parameters, such as the recurrence of certain keywords, the sender, the subject, and so on. When you enable the filter for any email account through the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you can pick between five separate protection levels – from very high to very low. If you keep receiving unsolicited bulk email messages, you can increase the level, or if genuine emails are mistaken for spam, you can lower it. Activating or deactivating the spam protection requires as little as 2 mouse clicks and you can select if the filtered emails should be deleted straight away or if they should be redirected to a designated email address where you can view them at a later time, so as to ensure that valuable email messages will not get lost.
