A spam filter is a software application that stops unwanted emails from reaching a given mailbox. An enormous percentage of the email traffic around the globe consists of spam messages: offers for pills or money, false banking notifications, and so on. This is why, it’s extremely important to set up filters to avoid not only unsolicited bulk email messages, but also any possibility of being ripped off in some way. Filters detect different things, so as to guarantee better protection – specific words and phrases or the frequency with which they appear in the text, the sender’s address, or the IP of the sender’s mail server. Hosting companies frequently resort to the services of 3rd-party spam-detecting organizations that offer up-to-the-minute databases in order to make spam filtering simpler and more efficient without affecting authentic email messages, even if they include suspicious words or phrases.

Spam Filters in Shared Hosting

If you reach the decision to host your domain names with us and you select any of our Linux shared hosting, you will be able to enable spam filters for any email address that you create. With a few clicks in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel, you can configure five different safety levels. In case you continue to get spam or the filters start preventing authentic emails from reaching your mailbox, you can change the level just as easily. The efficiency of our spam protection solution is ensured by one of the most widely used spam filters – SpamAssassin. In case you don’t want to risk skipping an authentic email message that may be considered spam due to its content, you can also set up custom email filters based on the sender, the subject or the body of the email message and redirect the emails to some other email address where you can check them later.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you use one of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting, you will not need to worry about unsolicited bulk emails clogging your mailboxes all the time, as you can make use of the famous SpamAssassin spam filter that we provide with each semi-dedicated server account. Our custom-built Hepsia hosting Control Panel will permit you to enable the filter for any mailbox with several clicks and you can choose one of the 5 levels of protection – from very low to very high. The level can be altered at any time if, for instance, authentic emails get blocked, or if unsolicited bulk messages go through and appear in your Inbox folder. To take no chances, you can choose all filtered messages to be delivered to a special email account such as spam@your-domain.com and not to be deleted. Thus, you can go through them from time to time to make sure that you have not missed out on a legitimate email.
