Most of the email messages sent around the world nowadays are spam, in other words – unrequested messages with various offers or with hyperlinks to malicious software. Not only are such emails irritating, but they also pose a risk to your own PC, not to mention that you may get ripped off. That’s the reason why numerous email providers resort to email filters, which are software apps that monitor all inbound messages and filter the undesired ones on the basis of their content – what words or phrases an email consists of and how many times they are referred to, what site a certain hyperlink redirects to, what SMTP mail server the email message comes from, and so on. Some web hosts also use the databases of spam-tracing organizations dedicated to the provision of the most up-to-the-minute info about unasked-for messages, to ensure that their customers won’t receive any email in their inbox that’s not supposed to be there.

Spam Filters in Web Hosting

If you order a web hosting plan from our company and if you use our mail services, you’ll be able to activate anti-spam protection for any of the email accounts that you create from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. With only a few mouse clicks, you can select between five different levels of security. In case you start receiving spam, you can begin with the lowest one and then slowly raise the level until you stop getting spam. We rely on one of the very best and most popular filters available on the market called SpamAssassin. It checks the header field and the body of each email message that you get and determines a spam score, based on which it either deletes a particular message or allows it to enter your inbox. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel will also allow you to configure custom email filters and either delete undesired email messages or re-send them to a third-party address such as spam@domain.com where you can examine them again afterwards.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server packages deliver first-rate anti-spam protection ensured by the popular SpamAssassin email filter, which rates all incoming email messages based on a spam score that depends on parameters and patterns, such as the frequency of specific keywords, the sender, the subject, and so on. When you enable the filter for any mailbox through the Hepsia Control Panel’s Email Manager section, you can pick between five separate security levels – from very high to very low. If you continue to receive junk email messages, you can raise the level, or if legitimate emails are blocked as spam, you can decrease it. Activating or deactivating the spam protection takes as little as two mouse clicks and you can select if the filtered email messages should be deleted momentarily or if they should be redirected to a chosen email address where you can review them later, so as to make certain that valuable emails will not get lost.
