An email filter is a software application that hinders unasked-for email messages from entering a given inbox. A huge percentage of the email traffic around the world consists of spam emails: offers for pills or cash, fake bank notifications, and so on. This is why, it’s rather important to activate filters to avoid not only unsolicited bulk emails, but also any chance of being duped somehow. Filters detect various things, so as to ensure higher levels of protection – particular words and phrases or the frequency with which they appear in the text, the sender’s email address, or the IP of the sender’s outgoing mail server. Hosting providers frequently resort to the services of 3rd-party spam-monitoring organizations that offer up-to-date databases in order to render spam filtering simpler and more effective without affecting legitimate emails, even if they contain suspicious words.

Spam Filters in Hosting

The safety of any email account that you create under a hosting account with us is guaranteed by the advanced SpamAssassin email filter that we use. You can enable it through the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel and it offers five levels of safety based on the spam score it gives to each and every email message in accordance with various criteria, such as the frequency of specific words and phrases, the sender, and so on. If you keep getting spam messages, you can always increase the level or if you’re scared that you may miss an authentic email message, you can combine the automatic filter with a custom one and redirect all email messages from a certain sender to a different email account. If you reach the decision that you no longer want a spam filter for a certain mailbox, you can deactivate it with only several clicks of the mouse.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you get a semi-dedicated server package from our company and if you create one or more mailboxes with any of the domains hosted under your account, you will be able to enable the advanced, five-level SpamAssassin anti-spam filter that we offer and keep all unwanted emails out of your inbox. This feature is accessible through the Email Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel and it can be activated or deactivated for any email account whenever you like. You can also change the security level with a couple of clicks of the mouse in case junk emails continue to appear in your inbox or the spam filter starts deleting genuine emails. Since you can select whether the spam should be deleted momentarily or re-sent to a different email account, you can create spam@domain.com, for instance, and check all filtered email messages there, so as to make certain that you will not omit an email message that you need. The email messages that the email filter permits to proceed will still appear in your mailbox.
