An email filter is a software application that impedes unsolicited email messages from entering a particular inbox. A significant percentage of the email communication around the globe is composed of spam email messages: offers for pills or cash, sham bank notifications, etc. For this reason, it is quite important to enable email filters in order to avoid not only unsolicited bulk emails, but also any chance of being conned somehow. Spam filters detect different things, so as to ensure better protection – particular words or the frequency with which they appear in the text, the sender’s address, or the IP address of the sender’s mail server. Hosting companies often resort to the services of third-party spam-detecting organizations that offer up-to-date databases in order to make spam filtering simpler and more efficient without affecting authentic emails, even if they contain suspicious words or phrases.

Spam Filters in Shared Hosting

Our shared hosting servers rely on one of the very best anti-spam filters out there. It’s called SpamAssassin and is offered with every web hosting plan, so in case you host your domain names with us, you can choose one of the 5 levels of safety that the filter offers for any email account that you have here. You can accomplish this with only 2 clicks from the Email Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel that’s used to manage all web hosting accounts. SpamAssassin examines the header section and the body of each and every email, calculates a spam score and then proceeds on the basis of the level that you’ve opted for. Every email account can have a different setting and you can choose if the email messages that the anti-spam filter flags as spam should be erased or re-sent to a different email address where you can check them later, so as to avoid deleting an authentic email message. Switching to a different level or disabling the anti-spam protection is also surprisingly easy.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server accounts deliver excellent spam protection guaranteed by the famous SpamAssassin anti-spam filter, which sorts all inbound emails based on a spam score that depends on patterns and parameters, such as the recurrence of specific keywords and phrases, the sender, the subject, and so on. When you enable the filter for any mailbox via the Hepsia Control Panel’s Email Manager section, you can select between five different levels of protection – from very low to very high. If you continue to get junk messages, you can increase the level, or if authentic email messages are blocked as spam, you can decrease it. Enabling or disabling the anti-spam protection takes as little as 2 clicks and you can select if the filtered messages should be deleted straight away or if they should be redirected to a chosen email account where you can check them at a later time, so as to make sure that important emails won’t disappear.
