Most of the email messages sent around the world these days are spam, i.e. unrequested messages with various offers or with links to malware. Not only are such email messages aggravating, but they also present a threat to your own personal computer, not to mention that you may get swindled. For this reason, lots of email service providers use email filters, which are software apps that ‘scan’ all inbound emails and filter out the undesired ones based on their content – what words or phrases an email message includes and how often they are cited, what web site a particular link leads to, what SMTP server the message is sent from, etc. Some providers also use the databases of spam-detecting organizations dedicated to providing the most up-to-the-minute info about unasked-for email messages, to make certain that their clients will not receive any message in their mailbox that shouldn’t be there.
Spam Filters in Shared Hosting
If you get a shared hosting package from us and if you use our email services, you will be able to set up anti-spam protection for any of the mailboxes that you set up from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel. With just a few mouse clicks, you can select between five different levels of safety. In case you start getting spam, you can start with the lowest level and then slowly increase the level till you stop receiving spam. We make use of one of the best and most famous email filters available called SpamAssassin. It analyzes the header field and the body of every message that you receive and determines a spam score, based on which it either erases a certain email or permits it to enter your mailbox. Hepsia will also permit you to create custom email filters and either erase undesired email messages or redirect them to a third-party email address like spam@domain.com where you can double-check them after that.
Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers
In case you take advantage of one of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting plans, you won’t need to worry about junk messages occupying your mailboxes every now and then, as you can make use of the famous SpamAssassin email filter that we offer with each account. Our in-house created Hepsia hosting Control Panel will allow you to activate the filter for any email account with a few clicks of the mouse and you can pick one of the five levels of safety – from very low to very high. The level can be altered at any moment if, for instance, authentic messages get filtered, or if unsolicited bulk email messages go through and reach your Inbox folder. To take no chances, you can choose all filtered emails to be redirected to a special email account such as spam@your-domain.com and not to be erased. Thus, you can check them from time to time to make certain that you have not missed a legitimate email message.
