A spam filter is an application that impedes undesirable emails from entering a given mailbox. A huge percentage of the email traffic around the globe consists of spam emails: offers for pills or money, sham bank notifications, and so on. This is why, it is extremely important to use filters in order to avoid not only spam messages, but also any chance of being ripped off somehow. Filters detect various things, so as to deliver better safety – particular words and phrases or the frequency with which they surface in the text, the sender’s address, or the IP of the sender’s outbound SMTP mail server. Web hosts often use the services of third-party spam-tracking organizations that provide up-to-date databases in order to make spam filtering easier and more efficient without affecting legitimate emails, even if they comprise suspicious words or phrases.

Spam Filters in Shared Website Hosting

The protection of any mailbox that you set up in a shared website hosting account with us is guaranteed by the advanced SpamAssassin email filter that we employ. You can activate it via the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and it offers five levels of protection based on the spam score it gives to each email in accordance with various criteria, such as the recurrence of particular words, the sender, etc. If you keep receiving unsolicited bulk emails, you can always increase the level or if you are afraid that you may omit an authentic message, you can mix the automated filter with a custom one and redirect all email messages from a given sender to a separate email account. If you decide that you no longer want anti-spam protection for a particular email account, you can deactivate it with just several clicks.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated server plans offer top-level spam protection guaranteed by the popular SpamAssassin spam filter, which classifies all inbound emails on the basis of a spam score in accordance with patterns and parameters, such as the recurrence of certain keywords and phrases, the sender, the subject, etc. When you activate the filter for any mailbox via the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel, you can select between 5 separate levels of safety – from very high to very low. If you still get unsolicited bulk emails, you can raise the level, or if genuine emails are mistaken for spam, you can lower it. Activating or deactivating the anti-spam protection takes as little as 2 clicks and you can choose if the filtered emails should be erased momentarily or if they should be delivered to a designated email account where you can read them later, so as to ensure that the emails that you need won’t get lost.
