Most emails sent around the globe nowadays are spam, in other words – unasked-for messages with various offers or with links to malicious software. Not only are such email messages irritating, but they also present a risk to your computer, not to mention that you may get conned. This is why, numerous email service providers make use of email filters, which are software apps that keep track of all incoming email messages and filter out the undesirable ones based on their content – what words an email consists of and how often they’re cited, what web site a specific hyperlink points to, what outgoing mail server the email comes from, etc. Some web hosts also make use of the databases of spam-monitoring organizations devoted to providing the most up-to-date info about unrequested email messages, to ensure that their customers will not get any email message in their mailbox that should not be there.

Spam Filters in Website Hosting

If you get a website hosting package from us and if you make use of our mail services, you’ll be able to enable spam filtering for any of the mailboxes that you set up from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel. With only several clicks of the mouse, you can pick between 5 separate levels of security. In case you start getting spam, you can start with the lowest level and then gradually increase the level till you stop getting spam. We rely on one of the best and most popular filters available called SpamAssassin. It analyzes the header field and the body of each email message that you receive and calculates a spam score, based on which it either erases a particular email or allows it to reach your mailbox. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel will also permit you to configure custom spam filters and either delete undesired messages or re-send them to a 3rd-party email address like spam@domain.com where you can view them once more at a later point in time.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting

In case you take advantage of one of our Linux semi-dedicated packages, you won’t have to worry about unsolicited bulk emails cramming your mailboxes all the time, as you can resort to the popular SpamAssassin spam filter that we provide with each and every semi-dedicated account. Our custom-created Hepsia hosting Control Panel will allow you to enable the filter for any mailbox with several clicks and you can choose any of the 5 levels of protection – from very low to very high. The level can be changed at any moment if, for instance, legitimate messages get blocked, or if spam email messages go through and reach your Inbox folder. To take no chances, you can choose all filtered messages to be delivered to a special email account such as spam@your-domain.com and not to be erased. Thus, you can go through them every now and then to ensure that you haven’t omitted an authentic message.
