Most emails sent around the globe nowadays are spam, in other words – unwanted messages with various offers or with hyperlinks to malicious software. Not only are such email messages irritating, but they also present a risk to your own personal computer, not to mention that you may be ripped off. That is the reason why numerous email service providers make use of email filters, which are apps that monitor all inbound messages and filter out the undesirable ones on the basis of their content – what words or phrases an email message includes and how many times they’re mentioned, what site a given link redirects to, what SMTP server the message comes from, etc. Some web hosting companies also make use of the databases of spam-detecting organizations dedicated to providing the most up-to-the-minute information about unrequested email messages, to make certain that their customers will not receive any message in their inbox that should not be there.

Spam Filters in Cloud Website Hosting

If you get a cloud website hosting package from us and if you use our email services, you will be able to enable spam filters for any of the email accounts that you create from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel. With just several clicks of the mouse, you can select between 5 separate levels of security. In case you start getting spam, you can start with the lowest one and then gradually increase the level until you stop receiving spam. We use one of the very best and most popular spam filters out there called SpamAssassin. It checks the header section and the body of each and every email message that you get and calculates a spam score, based on which it either erases a certain email or allows it to reach your inbox. The Hepsia Control Panel will also permit you to activate custom spam filters and either delete unsolicited emails or send them to a third-party address such as spam@domain.com where you can read them once again at a later time.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you take advantage of one of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting service, you won’t have to worry about spam email messages stuffing your mailboxes all the time, as you can take advantage of the popular SpamAssassin filter that we provide with each and every semi-dedicated hosting account. Our custom Hepsia hosting Control Panel will allow you to activate the filter for any mailbox with a couple of mouse clicks and you can pick one of the five levels of safety – from very high to very low. The level can be changed at any moment if, for example, genuine messages get blocked, or if spam messages go through and reach your inbox. To take no chances, you can choose all filtered messages to be forwarded to a special mailbox like spam@your-domain.com and not to be erased. Thus, you can check them from time to time to make certain that you have not missed out on an authentic email.
