An email filter is an application that obstructs unwelcome email messages from entering a given inbox. An enormous percentage of the email correspondence around the world is composed of spam email messages: offers for pills or cash, false bank notifications, and so on. For this reason, it is very important to enable email filters to avoid not only spam email messages, but also any possibility of being conned somehow. Filters detect various things, so as to provide better protection – particular words and phrases or the frequency with which they occur in the text, the sender’s email address, or the IP of the sender’s mail server. Hosting providers frequently make use of the services of 3rd-party spam-tracking organizations that provide up-to-the-minute databases to render email filtering easier and more effective without affecting authentic email messages, even if they contain suspicious words or phrases.

Spam Filters in Hosting

The security of any mailbox that you create under a hosting account with us is ensured by the advanced SpamAssassin spam filter that we employ. You can enable it via the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel and it offers five levels of safety based on the spam score it gives to every message in accordance with different parameters, such as the recurrence of given words and phrases, the sender, and so on. If you keep receiving unsolicited bulk emails, you can always increase the level or if you’re afraid that you may miss a genuine message, you can combine the automated email filter with a custom one and redirect all emails from a certain sender to a different mailbox. If you decide that you no longer need a spam filter for a certain email account, you can deactivate it with only a couple of mouse clicks.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated server accounts provide first-class anti-spam protection ensured by the popular SpamAssassin filter, which classifies all incoming email messages based on a spam score in accordance with patterns and parameters, such as the recurrence of specific keywords, the subject, the sender, etc. When you enable the filter for any account via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section, you can pick between 5 separate levels of protection – from very high to very low. If you continue to receive spam, you can raise the level, or if authentic emails are blocked as spam, you can lower it. Enabling or disabling the spam protection requires as little as 2 clicks and you can choose if the filtered messages should be deleted immediately or if they should be forwarded to a chosen mailbox where you can view them later, so as to ensure that the emails that you need will not get lost.
