Most emails sent around the globe these days are spam, i.e. unwelcome messages with different offers or with links to malicious software. Not only are such emails annoying, but they also pose a threat to your own personal computer, not to mention that you may get conned. That’s the reason why numerous mail service providers resort to spam filters, which are software applications that monitor all incoming emails and filter out the undesirable ones on the basis of their content – what words an email message consists of and how many times they’re mentioned, what web site a particular link opens, what outbound SMTP mail server the email message comes from, etc. Some companies also use the databases of spam-monitoring organizations dedicated to the provision of the most up-to-date info about unwanted email messages, to make certain that their customers will not receive any message in their inbox that’s not supposed to be there.

Spam Filters in Hosting

Our hosting servers rely on one of the very best spam filters out there. It’s called SpamAssassin and is available with every package, so in case you host your domains with our company, you can choose one of the five levels of security that the filter offers for any mailbox that you’ve got here. You can do this with only 2 clicks of the mouse from the Email Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel that is used to manage all shared hosting accounts. SpamAssassin checks the header and the body of each message, gives it a spam score and then continues according to the level that you’ve selected. Each email account can have a different setting and you can select whether the email messages that the anti-spam filter labels as spam should be erased or re-sent to a different mailbox where you can review them at a later point in time, so as to prevent erasing an authentic message. Switching to some other level or disabling the anti-spam protection is also exceptionally easy.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you order a semi-dedicated server plan from our company and if you set up one or more mailboxes with any of the domain names hosted in the account, you’ll be able to activate the powerful, five-level SpamAssassin anti-spam filter that we provide and keep all undesirable email messages away from your mailbox. This feature is accessible through the Email Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel and it can be enabled or disabled for any email account whenever you wish. You can also configure the level of safety with a few clicks of the mouse if junk messages continue to reach your mailbox or the spam filter starts deleting genuine email messages. As you can choose if the spam should be deleted instantly or redirected to a different email address, you can create spam@domain.com, for instance, and check all filtered email messages there, so as to ensure that you won’t omit an email that you need. The email messages that the filter permits to proceed will still appear in your mailbox.
