Most of the emails sent around the world these days are spam, in other words – undesirable messages with various offers or with hyperlinks to malicious software. Not only are such emails aggravating, but they also present a threat to your personal computer, not to mention that you may be conned. That is the reason why a lot of email providers use email filters, which are applications that keep track of all incoming email messages and filter the undesired ones on the basis of their content – what words or phrases an email message contains and how many times they’re referred to, what website a certain hyperlink leads to, what outgoing email server the email message is sent from, and so on. Certain web hosting providers also rely on the databases of spam-monitoring organizations dedicated to providing the most up-to-date information about unasked-for emails, to ensure that their clients will not receive any email message in their mailbox that should not be there.

Spam Filters in Cloud Web Hosting

If you get a cloud web hosting plan from us and if you use our mail services, you will be able to enable spam filters for any of the email accounts that you set up from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel. With only a couple of mouse clicks, you can choose between 5 different levels of safety. In case you start receiving spam, you can start with the lowest one and then slowly raise the level until you stop getting spam. We rely on one of the best and most popular filters available on the market called SpamAssassin. It ‘scans’ the header section and the body of each and every email message that you receive and determines a spam score, based on which it either erases a specific message or allows it to reach your mailbox. The Hepsia Control Panel will also permit you to set up custom email filters and either erase unwelcome email messages or re-send them to a third-party address like spam@domain.com where you can check them once more afterwards.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you take advantage of one of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting, you won’t need to worry about unsolicited bulk emails stuffing your mailboxes all the time, as you can take advantage of the famous SpamAssassin email filter that we offer with each semi-dedicated server account. Our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to enable the filter for any email account with a couple of clicks and you can pick one of the 5 protection levels – from very high to very low. The level can be changed at any time if, for example, genuine emails get blocked, or if unsolicited bulk emails go through and reach your inbox. To be on the safe side, you can choose all filtered emails to be re-sent to a special mailbox such as spam@your-domain.com and not to be erased. Thus, you can go through them from time to time to make certain that you have not missed out on a legitimate email message.
