An email filter is a piece of software that runs on an email server and keeps track of all incoming email messages so as to prevent any unwelcome ones from reaching a given mailbox. Several examples of such email messages would be: offers for pills or cash, false bank statements or email attachments that contain malicious software sent with the intention to damage your computer. Spam filters usually check the content of an email message and if they detect specific keywords or other suspicious content, they either delete the email or forward it to the Spam/Junk folder instead of the Inbox folder. Certain companies combine their own spam filters with up-to-the-minute databases from spam-detecting organizations, so as to guarantee better security for their customers. Such databases include patterns, mail server IPs and other information about spam messages recently uncovered by these organizations.

Spam Filters in Shared Website Hosting

The protection of any mailbox that you set up under a shared website hosting account with our company is guaranteed by the powerful SpamAssassin filter that we employ. You can enable it through the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and it offers 5 levels of safety based on the spam score given to each message depending on various parameters, such as the recurrence of particular words and phrases, the sender, and so on. If you keep getting unsolicited bulk emails, you can always increase the level or if you’re afraid that you may skip an authentic email, you can combine the automatic filter with a custom one and forward all messages from a specific sender to a separate mailbox. If you decide that you no longer need anti-spam protection for a particular mailbox, you can disable it with no more than several clicks of the mouse.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you decide to make use of the email service that comes with our semi-dedicated servers, you can keep all undesired email messages away from your inbox by enabling the 5-level anti-spam protection that we provide with each and every semi-dedicated plan. This can be achieved via the feature-loaded Email Manager section of the hosting Control Panel and we use the advanced SpamAssassin filter to make sure that we offer the best possible security for our customers. You can have a different anti-spam level for each mailbox and you can choose whether the filtered email messages should be erased or forwarded to a different email account where you can examine them at a later time to make sure that you are not losing genuine messages. Changing the level or deactivating the anti-spam protection is also easy and takes several clicks of the mouse.
