Most emails sent around the globe nowadays are spam, i.e. unrequested messages with different offers or with links to malware. Not only are such emails aggravating, but they also pose a risk to your computer, not to mention that you may be conned. Because of this, plenty of email providers make use of email filters, which are applications that monitor all incoming messages and filter the unwanted ones based on their content – what words or phrases an email message includes and how many times they are cited, what web site a certain hyperlink points to, what outgoing email server the email comes from, and so on. Certain providers also rely on the databases of spam-tracking organizations dedicated to the provision of the most up-to-the-minute information about unsolicited email messages, to make certain that their customers will not receive any email in their mailbox that should not be there.

Spam Filters in Shared Hosting

The protection of any mailbox that you create in a shared hosting account with our company is ensured by the powerful SpamAssassin email filter that we use. You can activate it through the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and it comes with 5 levels of protection based on the spam score it gives to each message in accordance with various criteria, such as the recurrence of certain words and phrases, the sender, etc. If you keep getting spam, you can always raise the level or if you are afraid that you may skip an authentic email, you can combine the automated filter with a custom one and forward all emails from a particular sender to a separate email address. If you decide that you no longer require anti-spam protection for a specific email account, you can disable it with just a couple of clicks of the mouse.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you use one of our semi-dedicated servers, you won’t need to worry about spam email messages stuffing your mailboxes all the time, as you can resort to the famous SpamAssassin anti-spam filter that we provide with every semi-dedicated account. Our custom-built Hepsia hosting Control Panel will permit you to activate the filter for any mailbox with a couple of mouse clicks and you can choose any of the five security levels – from very high to very low. The level can be altered at any moment if, for example, authentic emails get blocked, or if junk messages go through and appear in your Inbox folder. To take no chances, you can choose all filtered emails to be delivered to a special email account like spam@your-domain.com and not to be deleted. Thus, you can examine them from time to time to make sure that you have not omitted a genuine email message.
