A spam filter is an app that hinders unwelcome email messages from reaching a particular inbox. A considerable percentage of the email communication around the globe is composed of spam email messages: offers for pills or cash, sham bank notifications, and so on. That is why, it’s rather important to use filters in order to avoid not only unsolicited bulk messages, but also any chance of being duped somehow. Spam filters detect various things, so as to provide better safety – certain words or the frequency with which they appear in the text, the sender’s address, or the IP address of the sender’s SMTP email server. Web hosts frequently rely on the services of third-party spam-tracing organizations that offer up-to-date databases in order to make spam filtering better and easier without affecting legitimate messages, even if they contain suspicious words.

Spam Filters in Shared Hosting

If you reach the decision to host your domains with us and you pick any of our Linux shared services, you will be able to set up spam filtering for any mailbox that you create. With several clicks of the mouse in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you can set up 5 separate levels of protection. In case you still get unsolicited bulk messages or the spam filters start preventing authentic messages from entering your inbox, you can switch to some other level just as easily. The quality of our spam protection solution is guaranteed by one of the most famous filters – SpamAssassin. In case you don’t want to risk skipping an authentic message that may be flagged as spam due to its content, you can also configure custom spam filters based on the sender, the body or the subject of the message and re-send the emails to some other email account where you can read them later.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting

In case you take advantage of one of our semi-dedicated hosting, you will not need to worry about junk messages filling up your mailboxes every now and then, as you can make use of the popular SpamAssassin email filter that we provide with every account. Our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to enable the filter for any email account with a couple of clicks and you can pick any of the five safety levels – from very low to very high. The level can be altered at any time if, for instance, legitimate emails get filtered, or if unsolicited bulk messages go through and appear in your Inbox folder. To be on the safe side, you can choose all filtered messages to be forwarded to a special mailbox like spam@your-domain.com and not to be deleted. Thus, you can go through them every now and then to make sure that you have not missed an authentic email message.
