An email filter is an application that stops unsolicited email messages from entering a particular mailbox. A large percentage of the email traffic around the world consists of spam messages: offers for pills or money, sham bank notifications, and so on. That’s why, it is very important to activate filters in order to avoid not only unsolicited bulk email messages, but also any chance of being duped somehow. Email filters detect different things, so as to ensure higher levels of security – specific words or the frequency with which they occur in the text, the sender’s address, or the IP address of the sender’s outgoing SMTP server. Web hosting companies often use the services of third-party spam-tracking organizations that provide up-to-the-minute databases to render email filtering simpler and more effective without affecting authentic messages, even if they contain suspicious words or phrases.

Spam Filters in Hosting

Our hosting servers use one of the very best spam filters out there. It’s called SpamAssassin and is available with each and every shared hosting package, so in case you host your domain names with us, you can opt for one of the 5 levels of security that the filter offers for any email account that you have here. You can do this with just 2 mouse clicks from the Email Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel that’s used to manage all web hosting accounts. SpamAssassin examines the header section and the content of each email, gives it a spam score and then proceeds on the basis of the level that you have opted for. Every mailbox can have a different level and you can select if the messages that the anti-spam filter classifies as spam should be deleted or re-sent to a separate mailbox where you can review them later, so as to avoid erasing an authentic message. Changing the level or disabling the spam protection is also surprisingly easy.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you decide to use the mail service that comes with our semi-dedicated hosting, you can keep all unasked-for emails out of your mailbox by activating the five-level anti-spam protection that we offer with each and every semi-dedicated hosting package. This can be accomplished through the feature-loaded Email Manager section of the hosting Control Panel and we use the powerful SpamAssassin filter to ensure that we provide the best possible security for our clients. You can have a different level of protection for each mailbox and you can choose if the filtered email messages should be erased or forwarded to a different email account where you can review them at a later point in time to make certain that you won’t miss legitimate messages. Switching to another level of protection or disabling the spam protection is also easy and requires a couple of clicks.
