An email filter is an application that prevents undesirable emails from entering a given mailbox. A considerable percentage of the email traffic around the world consists of spam messages: offers for pills or cash, fake bank notifications, etc. For this reason, it’s very important to set up filters to avoid not only unsolicited bulk messages, but also any possibility of being conned somehow. Spam filters detect various things, so as to deliver better protection – certain words and phrases or the frequency with which they surface in the text, the sender’s address, or the IP address of the sender’s outbound SMTP server. Hosting providers frequently make use of the services of third-party spam-monitoring organizations that provide up-to-date databases in order to make spam filtering easier and more efficient without affecting legitimate emails, even if they include suspicious words or phrases.

Spam Filters in Shared Hosting

If you get a shared hosting plan from our company and if you take advantage of our mail services, you’ll be able to enable anti-spam protection for any of the mailboxes that you create from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel. With just a few clicks, you can choose between 5 different safety levels. In case you start getting spam, you can start with the lowest level and then slowly raise the level until you stop getting spam. We use one of the best and most famous spam filters out there called SpamAssassin. It ‘scans’ the header section and the body of every message that you receive and determines a spam score, based on which it either deletes a given email or permits it to enter your inbox. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel will also allow you to activate custom email filters and either erase undesirable email messages or send them to a 3rd-party address like spam@domain.com where you can double-check them later.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server packages provide first-rate spam protection guaranteed by the famous SpamAssassin spam filter, which ranks all inbound email messages based on a spam score in accordance with parameters and patterns, such as the frequency of particular keywords, the sender, the subject, etc. When you enable the filter for any email account through the Hepsia Control Panel’s Email Manager section, you can select between 5 separate security levels – from very low to very high. If you keep getting spam email messages, you can raise the level, or if genuine emails are labeled as spam, you can decrease it. Enabling or disabling the spam protection takes as little as two mouse clicks and you can select if the filtered email messages should be deleted straight away or if they should be redirected to a designated mailbox where you can check them at a later point in time, so as to ensure that the emails that you need will not disappear.
