A spam filter is an app that prevents unwanted email messages from entering a particular mailbox. A large percentage of the email correspondence around the globe is composed of spam messages: offers for pills or money, fraudulent banking notifications, etc. This is why, it’s quite important to activate filters in order to avoid not only spam emails, but also any possibility of being conned somehow. Email filters detect different things, so as to guarantee better security – 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 email server. Web hosting companies frequently rely on the services of third-party spam-tracing organizations that offer up-to-the-minute databases to render email filtering easier and more efficient without affecting genuine messages, even if they comprise suspicious words.
Spam Filters in Shared Hosting
If you decide to host your domains with us and you select any of our shared hosting, you’ll be able to activate spam filters for any mailbox that you set up. With a few mouse clicks in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel, you can set up five different levels of safety. In case you continue to receive unsolicited bulk email messages or the email filters start preventing legitimate email messages from entering your inbox, you can switch to another level just as easily. The quality of our spam filtering service is guaranteed by one of the most famous email filters – SpamAssassin. In case you do not want to risk skipping an authentic email that may be considered as spam owing to its content, you can also configure custom filters based on the sender, the body or the subject of the email message and redirect the emails to a different email account where you can check them at a later time.
Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting
In case you use one of our semi-dedicated hosting, you won’t need to worry about junk emails stuffing your mailboxes every now and then, as you can make use of the popular SpamAssassin spam filter that we offer with each and every semi-dedicated account. Our custom-developed Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to activate the filter for any email account with several mouse clicks and you can select one of the five levels of safety – from very high to very low. The level can be changed at any moment if, for instance, legitimate emails get filtered, or if junk emails go through and appear in 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. In this way, you can examine them every now and then to ensure that you have not missed out on a genuine message.
