An email filter is an application that blocks unwelcome messages from reaching a particular inbox. A substantial percentage of the email correspondence around the globe consists of spam emails: offers for pills or money, sham bank notifications, etc. That’s why, it’s quite important to use filters to avoid not only spam emails, but also any possibility of being ripped off somehow. Spam filters detect different things, so as to guarantee higher levels of protection – particular words or the frequency with which they occur in the text, the sender’s address, or the IP of the sender’s outbound SMTP mail server. Hosting companies frequently use the services of 3rd-party spam-tracking organizations that provide up-to-the-minute databases in order to render email filtering simpler and more effective without affecting legitimate emails, even if they contain suspicious words.

Spam Filters in Web Hosting

Our web hosting servers employ one of the best anti-spam filters out there. It’s called SpamAssassin and is included with each web hosting package, so if you host your domain names with our company, you can pick one of the 5 levels of protection that the anti-spam filter offers for any email account that you have here. You can accomplish this with just 2 clicks from the Email Manager section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel that’s used to manage all shared hosting accounts. SpamAssassin checks the header and the body of each email message, gives it a spam score and then proceeds based on the level that you have opted for. Each email account can have a different level and you can select whether the email messages that the spam filter marks as spam should be deleted or redirected to a different email account where you can read them at a later point in time, so as to avoid erasing a genuine email. Switching to some other level or deactivating the protection is also really easy.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you order a semi-dedicated server package from our company and if you create one or more email accounts with any of the domains hosted under the account, you will be able to enable the powerful, five-level SpamAssassin spam filter that we offer and keep all undesired email messages away from your mailbox. This service is accessible through the Email Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel and it can be enabled or disabled for any mailbox whenever you like. You can also fine-tune the safety level with a few mouse clicks if unsolicited bulk email messages continue to appear in your inbox or the email filter starts deleting genuine messages. As you can select whether the spam should be erased momentarily or re-sent to a different email account, you can set up spam@domain.com, for example, and check all filtered messages there, so as to make certain that you won’t miss a message that you require. The messages that the anti-spam filter permits to proceed will still be received in your mailbox.
