A spam filter is a software app that prevents undesirable email messages from reaching a given inbox. A huge percentage of the email correspondence around the globe consists of spam messages: offers for pills or money, forged bank notifications, and so on. For this reason, it is pretty important to set up filters to avoid not only unsolicited bulk messages, but also any chance of being duped somehow. Spam filters detect various things, so as to ensure higher levels of safety – certain words or the frequency with which they occur in the text, the sender’s address, or the IP address of the sender’s outgoing SMTP mail server. Hosting providers often resort to the services of 3rd-party spam-monitoring organizations that provide up-to-the-minute databases in order to make email filtering simpler and more efficient without affecting authentic messages, 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 available on the market. It’s called SpamAssassin and is included with each web hosting plan, so if you host your domains with us, you can opt for one of the 5 levels of safety that the filter offers for any mailbox that you have here. You can do this with just two mouse clicks from the Email Manager section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel that’s used to manage all shared hosting accounts. SpamAssassin checks the header section and the content of each email message, calculates a spam score and then continues according to the level that you have selected. Every email account can have a different setting and you can choose if the emails that the anti-spam filter labels as spam should be deleted or delivered to another email account where you can review them later, so as to avoid erasing a legitimate message. Switching to some other level or disabling the anti-spam protection is also surprisingly easy.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated server plans deliver first-rate spam protection guaranteed by the famous SpamAssassin anti-spam filter, which ranks all inbound messages on the basis of a spam score in accordance with parameters and patterns, such as the recurrence of certain keywords, the sender, the subject, etc. When you activate the filter for any account via the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you can select between five separate security levels – from very low to very high. If you keep receiving spam, you can increase the level, or if legitimate messages are blocked as spam, you can decrease it. Enabling or disabling the spam protection takes as little as 2 clicks of the mouse and you can choose if the filtered email messages should be deleted instantaneously or if they should be delivered to a designated email address where you can check them at a later point in time, so as to ensure that the messages that you need will not get lost.
