Most email messages sent around the world these days are spam, in other words – unwelcome messages with different offers or with hyperlinks to malware. Not only are such emails annoying, but they also pose a threat to your personal computer, not to mention that you may get swindled. Because of this, numerous email providers use email filters, which are applications that keep track of all incoming email messages and filter the undesirable ones based on their content – what words or phrases an email includes and how many times they’re cited, what site a certain hyperlink opens, what server the email is sent from, and so on. Certain web hosting companies also make use of the databases of spam-monitoring organizations dedicated to providing the most up-to-date information about unrequested email messages, to ensure that their customers will not get any message in their inbox that is not supposed to be there.

Spam Filters in Cloud Hosting

If you get a cloud hosting plan from us and if you make use of our email services, you’ll be able to set up spam filtering for any of the mailboxes that you create from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. With just a couple of mouse clicks, you can choose between five separate levels of protection. In case you start receiving spam, you can begin with the lowest level and then gradually boost the level till you stop receiving spam. We use one of the very best and most famous email filters available called SpamAssassin. It analyzes the header and the body of each and every message that you receive and determines a spam score, based on which it either deletes a given email message or permits it to enter your inbox. The Hepsia Control Panel will also permit you to create custom email filters and either eliminate undesired emails or forward them to a 3rd-party address like spam@domain.com where you can read them once more afterwards.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you use one of our semi-dedicated hosting plans, you won’t need to worry about junk messages occupying your mailboxes all the time, as you can take advantage of the popular SpamAssassin email filter that we provide with every account. Our in-house created Hepsia hosting Control Panel will permit you to enable the filter for any email account with a few clicks of the mouse and you can choose one of the five security levels – from very low to very high. The level can be changed at any moment if, for example, genuine emails get blocked, or if junk email messages go through and reach your Inbox folder. To take no chances, you can choose all filtered email messages to be delivered to a special email account like spam@your-domain.com and not to be deleted. Thus, you can examine them from time to time to make certain that you haven’t omitted a legitimate email.
