Most email messages sent around the world nowadays are spam, i.e. unrequested messages with various offers or with links to malware. Not only are such email messages annoying, but they also pose a risk to your computer, not to mention that you may get tricked. That is why, a lot of email service providers rely on spam filters, which are apps that monitor all incoming email messages and filter out the unwanted ones based on their content – what words or phrases an email consists of and how many times they’re mentioned, what web site a specific link opens, what outbound SMTP mail server the email is sent from, etc. Certain providers also make use of the databases of spam-detecting organizations dedicated to providing the most up-to-date information about undesired emails, to make certain that their clients will not receive any message in their inbox that shouldn’t be there.

Spam Filters in Shared Hosting

If you get a shared hosting plan from us and if you use our email 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 hosting Control Panel. With only a few clicks of the mouse, you can select between 5 different security levels. In case you start getting spam, you can begin with the lowest level and then slowly boost the level until you stop getting spam. We make use of one of the best and most famous spam filters out there called SpamAssassin. It analyzes the header and the body of every email message that you get and calculates a spam score, based on which it either deletes a given email message or permits it to reach your mailbox. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel will also permit you to set up custom spam filters and either eliminate unwanted emails or redirect them to a third-party address like spam@domain.com where you can view them once again later.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you get a semi-dedicated server plan from our company and if you set up one or more email accounts with any of the domains hosted in the account, you’ll be able to activate the advanced, five-level SpamAssassin filter that we offer and keep all undesirable messages away from your inbox. This service is accessible through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section and it can be enabled or disabled for any mailbox at any moment. You can also configure the level of security with a couple of mouse clicks if unsolicited bulk messages still enter your mailbox or the filter starts removing authentic messages. As you can select whether the spam should be deleted straight away or redirected to a different mailbox, you can create spam@domain.com, for example, and view all filtered email messages there, so as to make certain that you will not omit an email that you require. The emails that the anti-spam filter permits to proceed will still appear in your mailbox.
