An email filter is an application that hinders undesirable emails from reaching a particular mailbox. An enormous percentage of the email communication around the globe consists of spam email messages: offers for pills or money, sham bank notifications, and so on. For this reason, it’s really important to set up filters to avoid not only spam email messages, but also any possibility of being tricked in some way. Email filters detect different things, so as to guarantee higher levels of protection – certain words and phrases or the frequency with which they appear in the text, the sender’s address, or the IP address of the sender’s outbound SMTP mail server. Web hosting companies frequently use the services of 3rd-party spam-tracking organizations that offer up-to-date databases in order to render email filtering better and easier without affecting legitimate messages, even if they comprise suspicious words or phrases.

Spam Filters in Web Hosting

If you order a web hosting plan from us and if you use our mail services, you’ll be able to set up spam filters for any of the mailboxes that you create from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel. With no more than several mouse clicks, you can select between 5 different levels of safety. If you start getting spam, you can start with the lowest level and then gradually boost the level until you stop getting spam. We use one of the best and most famous spam filters out there called SpamAssassin. It analyzes the header field and the body of each and every email message that you get and determines a spam score, based on which it either deletes a particular message or permits it to reach your mailbox. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel will also permit you to set up custom email filters and either erase undesired emails or re-send them to a 3rd-party email address like spam@domain.com where you can examine them once more later.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you take advantage of one of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting, you won’t need to worry about unsolicited bulk email messages stuffing your mailboxes every once in a while, as you can take advantage of the popular SpamAssassin spam filter that we provide with each and every semi-dedicated hosting account. Our custom-created Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to activate the filter for any mailbox with a couple of clicks of the mouse and you can choose any of the 5 levels of security – from very high to very low. The level can be changed at any moment if, for example, legitimate email messages get filtered, or if spam email messages go through and reach your inbox. To be on the safe side, you can choose all filtered messages to be delivered to a special email account such as spam@your-domain.com and not to be deleted. In this way, you can go through them from time to time to make certain that you haven’t missed a genuine message.
