An email filter is a software application that prevents unwanted email messages from reaching a given inbox. A considerable percentage of the email communication around the world is composed of spam email messages: offers for pills or cash, forged bank notifications, etc. This is why, it’s rather important to enable filters to avoid not only unsolicited bulk email messages, but also any chance of being ripped off in some way. Spam filters detect various things, so as to deliver higher levels of protection – specific words or the frequency with which they occur in the text, the sender’s email address, or the IP address of the sender’s mail server. Web hosts often make use of the services of 3rd-party spam-detecting organizations that offer up-to-the-minute databases to make email filtering better and simpler without affecting authentic emails, even if they include suspicious words or phrases.

Spam Filters in Cloud Hosting

The protection of any email account that you create under a cloud hosting account with our company is ensured by the advanced SpamAssassin email filter that we employ. You can enable it through the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and it comes with 5 protection levels based on the spam score it gives to every email in accordance with various criteria, such as the frequency of given words, the sender, and so on. If you keep getting junk emails, you can always raise the level or if you are afraid that you may omit a genuine email, you can combine the automated spam filter with a custom one and redirect all messages from a given sender to some other email account. In case you reach the decision that you no longer need an email filter for a given mailbox, you can deactivate it with no more than several clicks of the mouse.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you take advantage of one of our semi-dedicated hosting packages, you won’t have to worry about unsolicited bulk email messages clogging your mailboxes every now and then, as you can resort to the popular SpamAssassin anti-spam filter that we offer with each and every semi-dedicated hosting account. Our custom-developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel will allow you to enable the filter for any mailbox with a few clicks and you can choose any of the 5 levels of safety – from very low to very high. The level can be changed at any moment if, for example, authentic emails get filtered, or if junk email messages go through and reach your Inbox folder. To take no chances, you can choose all filtered emails to be forwarded to a special mailbox like spam@your-domain.com and not to be deleted. In this way, you can check them from time to time to make sure that you haven’t omitted a legitimate message.
