Most of the email messages sent around the globe nowadays are spam, in other words – undesired messages with various offers or with links to malware. Not only are such emails aggravating, but they also present a threat to your own PC, not to mention that you may be duped. For this reason, lots of mail service providers rely on spam filters, which are software apps that monitor all inbound email messages and filter out the undesirable ones on the basis of their content – what words an email includes and how often they are referred to, what website a particular hyperlink redirects to, what outgoing SMTP email server the email is sent from, and so on. Certain web hosting providers also make use of the databases of spam-tracking organizations devoted to the provision of the most up-to-date info about unwanted messages, to make certain that their clients will not receive any email message in their inbox that shouldn’t be there.

Spam Filters in Shared Website Hosting

If you order a shared website hosting package from us and if you take advantage of our mail services, you will be able to set up spam filtering for any of the mailboxes that you create from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel. With only several mouse clicks, you can select between five separate levels of protection. In case you start receiving spam, you can start with the lowest one and then gradually increase the level till you stop receiving spam. We make use of one of the best and most famous spam filters available on the market called SpamAssassin. It ‘scans’ the header field and the body of every email that you get and calculates a spam score, based on which it either deletes a specific email or permits it to reach your mailbox. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel will also allow you to set up custom filters and either erase unwelcome emails or re-send them to a third-party address such as [email protected] where you can check them again afterwards.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you get a semi-dedicated server package from our company and if you create one or more email accounts with any of the domains hosted in the account, you will be able to activate the powerful, five-level SpamAssassin email filter that we provide and keep all unwelcome email messages away from your mailbox. This feature is accessible through the Hepsia Control Panel’s Email Manager section and it can be activated or deactivated for any email account at any time. You can also adjust the level of protection with a couple of mouse clicks if spam email messages continue to enter your inbox or the spam filter starts removing authentic messages. As you can select whether the spam should be erased instantaneously or forwarded to a separate email account, you can create [email protected], for instance, and view all filtered email messages there, so as to ensure that you will not omit a message that you need. The emails that the email filter permits to proceed will still be received in your mailbox.
