Most email messages sent around the globe nowadays are spam, i.e. unwanted messages with various offers or with hyperlinks to malicious software. Not only are such email messages irritating, but they also present a risk to your own personal computer, not to mention that you may get conned. This is why, lots of mail service providers resort to email filters, which are applications that ‘scan’ all incoming messages and filter out the undesired ones on the basis of their content – what words an email message consists of and how often they are mentioned, what web site a specific hyperlink opens, what outgoing email server the email message is sent from, etc. Certain companies also rely on the databases of spam-tracing organizations devoted to the provision of the most up-to-the-minute info about undesirable email messages, to ensure that their clients will not get any email message in their inbox that’s not supposed to 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 enable anti-spam protection for any of the email accounts that you create from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel. With only several clicks of the mouse, you can choose between five different levels of safety. If you start receiving spam, you can begin with the lowest level and then slowly boost the level until you stop receiving spam. We rely on one of the very best and most popular email filters out there called SpamAssassin. It examines the header field and the body of every message that you receive and calculates a spam score, based on which it either erases a particular message or allows it to enter your inbox. Hepsia will also permit you to create custom filters and either erase unwelcome emails or forward them to a third-party address like spam@domain.com where you can view them again afterwards.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you use a semi-dedicated server package from our company and if you create one or more mailboxes with any of the domains hosted under the account, you’ll be able to activate the powerful, five-level SpamAssassin spam filter that we offer and keep all unwelcome messages away from your mailbox. This service is accessible through the Hepsia Control Panel’s Email Manager section and it can be activated or deactivated for any email account whenever you wish. You can also alter the safety level with several clicks in case junk email messages still appear in your mailbox or the email filter begins removing legitimate email messages. Since you can choose if the spam should be erased immediately or forwarded to a separate email address, you can set up spam@domain.com, for example, and check all filtered messages there, so as to ensure that you won’t miss a message that you need. The emails that the anti-spam filter permits to go through will still appear in your mailbox.
