An email filter is a software app that prevents unasked-for emails from entering a given inbox. A significant percentage of the email communication around the world involves spam emails: offers for pills or money, sham banking notifications, etc. This is why, it is rather important to enable email filters in order to avoid not only spam emails, but also any possibility of being tricked somehow. Filters detect different things, so as to provide better safety – particular words or the frequency with which they appear in the text, the sender’s email address, or the IP address of the sender’s SMTP mail server. Hosting companies frequently resort to the services of third-party spam-detecting organizations that provide up-to-the-minute databases in order to render email filtering better and simpler without affecting authentic messages, even if they comprise suspicious words.

Spam Filters in Shared Website Hosting

If you order a shared website hosting plan from our company and if you use our mail services, you will be able to enable anti-spam protection for any of the email accounts that you set up from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. With only a couple of mouse clicks, you can select between five different levels of safety. If you start getting spam, you can begin with the lowest one and then slowly increase the level until you stop receiving spam. We make use of one of the very best and most famous email filters out there called SpamAssassin. It examines the header section and the body of each and every email message that you receive and determines a spam score, based on which it either erases a specific email message or permits it to reach your mailbox. The Hepsia Control Panel will also permit you to activate custom email filters and either eliminate unwanted messages or forward them to a 3rd-party address like spam@domain.com where you can view them again after that.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you order a semi-dedicated server package from our company and if you set up one or more email addresses with any of the domain names hosted under your account, you will be able to enable the advanced, 5-level SpamAssassin spam filter that we offer and keep all unsolicited email messages out of your inbox. This functionality is accessible through the Email Manager section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and it can be activated or deactivated for any email account whenever you like. You can also configure the level of security with a few clicks of the mouse in case junk email messages still enter your inbox or the spam filter starts erasing genuine emails. As you can choose if the spam should be deleted momentarily or delivered to a different mailbox, you can create spam@domain.com, for instance, and view all filtered email messages there, so as to make certain that you won’t omit a message that you need. The email messages that the email filter permits to proceed will still be received in your inbox.
