An email filter is a software application that obstructs undesired messages from reaching a particular inbox. An enormous percentage of the email correspondence around the globe consists of spam messages: offers for pills or money, forged bank notifications, and so on. That is why, it’s pretty important to enable email filters in order to avoid not only unsolicited bulk messages, but also any possibility of being tricked in some way. Spam filters detect different things, so as to guarantee better protection – certain words or the frequency with which they surface in the text, the sender’s email address, or the IP address of the sender’s outgoing server. Hosting providers frequently rely on the services of 3rd-party spam-detecting organizations that offer up-to-date databases in order to render email filtering simpler and more efficient without affecting legitimate messages, even if they contain suspicious words or phrases.

Spam Filters in Hosting

Our hosting servers employ one of the best spam filters available. It’s called SpamAssassin and is offered with each and every shared web hosting plan, so in case you host your domains with us, you can choose one of the five levels of security that the spam filter offers for any email account that you have here. You can accomplish this with only two clicks from the Email Manager section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel that’s used to manage all cloud hosting accounts. SpamAssassin analyzes the header field and the body of each and every message, calculates a spam score and then continues based on the level that you’ve picked. Each mailbox can have a different level and you can select whether the messages that the spam filter flags as spam should be deleted or delivered to another mailbox where you can view them later, so as to avoid erasing an authentic email message. Changing the level or disabling the spam protection is also astonishingly easy.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you use a semi-dedicated server plan from our company and if you create one or more email addresses with any of the domains hosted under your account, you will be able to enable the advanced, five-level SpamAssassin filter that we provide and keep all unwanted messages away from your inbox. This option is accessible through the Hepsia Control Panel’s Email Manager section and it can be activated or deactivated for any mailbox whenever you wish. You can also change the level of safety with a couple of mouse clicks if unsolicited bulk email messages continue to appear in your mailbox or the spam filter starts erasing authentic email messages. Since you can choose if the spam should be erased right away or redirected to another email account, you can create spam@domain.com, for example, and view all filtered messages there, so as to make sure that you will not omit an email message that you need. The messages that the spam filter allows to go through will still appear in your mailbox.
