Most of the emails sent around the world these days are spam, in other words – unwelcome messages with various offers or with links to malicious software. Not only are such email messages annoying, but they also present a threat to your own personal computer, not to mention that you may be conned. For this reason, many email service providers use email filters, which are applications that monitor all incoming messages and filter out the undesirable ones based on their content – what words an email consists of and how often they are referred to, what website a certain hyperlink leads to, what email server the email message is sent from, and so on. Certain web hosting providers also use the databases of spam-tracking organizations devoted to the provision of the most up-to-date information about unrequested email messages, to make certain that their clients won’t receive any message in their inbox that should not be there.

Spam Filters in Shared Web Hosting

If you get a shared web hosting package from our company and if you use our mail services, you will be able to enable anti-spam protection for any of the mailboxes that you set up from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. With just a few clicks, you can choose between five different safety levels. If you start receiving spam, you can begin with the lowest level and then gradually increase the level till you stop receiving spam. We rely on one of the very best and most famous filters out there called SpamAssassin. It ‘scans’ the header and the body of each and every email that you get and determines a spam score, based on which it either erases a given email or allows it to enter your inbox. Hepsia will also allow you to activate custom spam filters and either erase unasked-for email messages or send them to a third-party email address like spam@domain.com where you can view them again after that.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you use a semi-dedicated server package from our company and if you create one or more email addresses with any of the domain names hosted in your account, you’ll be able to enable the powerful, five-level SpamAssassin spam filter that we offer and keep all unsolicited messages out of your mailbox. This functionality is accessible through the Email Manager section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and it can be enabled or disabled for any mailbox whenever you wish. You can also change the level of safety with several mouse clicks if junk email messages continue to enter your mailbox or the filter starts deleting genuine messages. As you can select if the spam should be deleted straight away or delivered to a different mailbox, you can set up spam@domain.com, for example, and check all filtered messages there, so as to make sure that you won’t miss a message that you need. The messages that the spam filter allows to proceed will still be delivered to your inbox.
