A spam filter is a piece of software that runs on an email server and keeps track of all inbound messages in order to hinder any unwelcome ones from entering a certain inbox. A few instances of such email messages would be: offers for pills or money, fraudulent banking notices or email attachments that contain malicious code sent with the intention of infecting your PC. Email filters normally check the content of an email and when they come across given keywords or other dubious content, they either erase the message or deliver it to the Spam/Junk folder instead of the Inbox folder. Certain hosting providers mix their own filters with up-to-the-minute databases from spam-tracing organizations, so as to guarantee higher levels of security for their clients. Such databases contain patterns, email server IPs and other info about spam email messages recently detected by these organizations.

Spam Filters in Cloud Hosting

If you get a cloud hosting package from our company and if you make use of our mail services, you’ll be able to activate anti-spam protection for any of the email accounts that you create from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel. With just several clicks of the mouse, you can choose between five separate safety levels. In case you start getting spam, you can begin with the lowest level and then slowly increase the level until you stop receiving spam. We make use of one of the very best and most popular email filters out there called SpamAssassin. It ‘scans’ the header section and the body of every email that you get and determines a spam score, based on which it either deletes a particular message or allows it to enter your mailbox. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel will also allow you to configure custom filters and either eliminate unwelcome email messages or redirect them to a third-party email address such as spam@domain.com where you can view them again after that.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you reach the decision to use the mail service that comes with our semi-dedicated servers, you can keep all unwanted email messages away from your mailbox by activating the five-level anti-spam protection service that we provide with every semi-dedicated hosting plan. This can be achieved via the feature-packed Email Manager section of the hosting Control Panel and we employ the powerful SpamAssassin email filter to make certain that we offer the best possible protection for our clients. You can have a different level of protection for each email account and you can choose whether the filtered emails should be erased or re-sent to a separate email account where you can read them later in order to make sure that you will not lose authentic email messages. Switching to a different level of protection or deactivating the anti-spam protection is also easy and takes a couple of mouse clicks.
