Most email messages sent around the world nowadays are spam, in other words – unsolicited messages with various offers or with links to malware. Not only are such emails annoying, but they also present a risk to your own personal computer, not to mention that you may be tricked. This is why, plenty of email service providers make use of spam filters, which are apps that monitor all inbound emails and filter the unwanted ones on the basis of their content – what words an email contains and how often they are mentioned, what web site a particular link leads to, what outgoing SMTP mail server the email message is sent from, and so on. Some providers also rely on the databases of spam-tracing organizations dedicated to providing the most up-to-the-minute information about unwanted emails, to make certain that their customers won’t receive any email in their inbox that should not be there.

Spam Filters in Shared Web Hosting

If you order a shared web hosting plan from us and if you make use of our mail services, you will be able to activate spam filters for any of the email accounts that you create from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. With no more than several mouse clicks, you can select between 5 different security levels. In case you start receiving spam, you can start with the lowest level and then slowly boost the level till you stop getting spam. We rely on one of the very best and most famous email filters available on the market called SpamAssassin. It ‘scans’ the header and the body of every email message that you get and determines a spam score, based on which it either deletes a certain email message or allows it to reach your mailbox. The Hepsia Control Panel will also allow you to set up custom email filters and either erase unwelcome messages or send them to a 3rd-party address like spam@domain.com where you can view them once more later.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you take advantage of one of our semi-dedicated packages, you will not need to worry about spam email messages stuffing your mailboxes every once in a while, as you can take advantage of the famous SpamAssassin filter that we provide with each and every semi-dedicated server account. Our in-house created Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to enable the filter for any email account with a few mouse clicks and you can pick any of the 5 protection levels – from very high to very low. The level can be changed at any time if, for example, legitimate email messages get blocked, or if unsolicited bulk messages go through and appear in your inbox. To be on the safe side, you can choose all filtered email messages to be delivered to a special mailbox like spam@your-domain.com and not to be deleted. In this way, you can check them every now and then to ensure that you haven’t missed out on a legitimate email.
