A spam filter is a software app that blocks unwanted messages from reaching a particular inbox. An immense percentage of the email correspondence around the world is composed of spam messages: offers for pills or money, forged banking notifications, etc. Because of this, it’s very important to activate email filters in order to avoid not only spam messages, but also any possibility of being duped somehow. Filters detect various things, so as to deliver better safety – specific words and phrases or the frequency with which they surface in the text, the sender’s address, or the IP address of the sender’s outbound SMTP email server. Web hosting providers frequently use the services of third-party spam-detecting organizations that offer up-to-date databases in order to make spam filtering better and easier without affecting authentic emails, even if they include suspicious words or phrases.

Spam Filters in Hosting

The safety of any email account that you set up in a hosting account with our company is ensured by the powerful SpamAssassin email filter that we use. You can enable it via the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel and it offers 5 levels of safety based on the spam score it gives to each and every message depending on different parameters, such as the frequency of certain words, the sender, and so on. If you keep getting unsolicited bulk email messages, you can always increase the level or if you are afraid that you may miss a legitimate email message, you can combine the automatic filter with a custom one and redirect all emails from a particular sender to a different email address. In case you reach the decision that you no longer need a spam filter for a particular mailbox, you can disable it with only a few clicks of the mouse.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you use a semi-dedicated server package from our company and if you create one or more email addresses with any of the domain names hosted in the account, you’ll be able to activate the advanced, five-level SpamAssassin email filter that we offer and keep all undesired emails away from your inbox. This option is accessible through the Email Manager section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and it can be activated or deactivated for any mailbox at any time. You can also configure the level of safety with a few clicks if spam messages still appear in your inbox or the spam filter begins deleting legitimate emails. Since you can choose whether the spam should be deleted straight away or delivered to a separate email account, you can create spam@domain.com, for instance, and check all filtered messages there, so as to ensure that you won’t omit an email message that you need. The emails that the spam filter permits to go through will still be delivered to your inbox.
