Most email messages sent around the globe nowadays are spam, i.e. unwanted messages with different offers or with hyperlinks to malware. Not only are such email messages irritating, but they also present a threat to your personal computer, not to mention that you may get scammed. For this reason, many email providers resort to spam filters, which are software apps that monitor all inbound email messages and filter out the undesired ones based on their content – what words an email message contains and how many times they’re mentioned, what web site a certain hyperlink points to, what server the email message is sent from, etc. Some hosting providers also make use of the databases of spam-detecting organizations dedicated to providing the most up-to-date info about undesirable email messages, to make sure that their customers won’t receive any email in their mailbox that should not be there.

Spam Filters in Shared Hosting

If you get a shared hosting plan from us and if you take advantage of our email 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 no more than a couple of clicks of the mouse, you can choose between five separate levels of protection. In case you start getting spam, you can start with the lowest level and then gradually increase the level until you stop receiving spam. We make use of one of the best and most famous filters available on the market called SpamAssassin. It examines the header and the body of every message that you get and calculates a spam score, based on which it either erases a given email or permits it to enter your mailbox. The Hepsia Control Panel will also permit you to configure custom email filters and either erase unasked-for messages or send them to a third-party email address such as spam@domain.com where you can examine them again afterwards.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you use one of our semi-dedicated hosting, you won’t need to worry about spam emails cramming your mailboxes every once in a while, as you can make use of the famous SpamAssassin spam filter that we offer with each semi-dedicated server account. Our custom Hepsia hosting Control Panel will allow you to activate the filter for any mailbox with a couple of clicks of the mouse and you can pick any of the 5 levels of safety – from very high to very low. The level can be altered at any moment if, for example, genuine messages get blocked, or if unsolicited bulk email messages go through and appear in your Inbox folder. To take no chances, you can choose all filtered emails to be forwarded to a special mailbox like spam@your-domain.com and not to be erased. Thus, you can examine them from time to time to make sure that you haven’t omitted an authentic email message.
