An email filter is a software application that prevents unwelcome emails from reaching a given mailbox. An immense percentage of the email correspondence around the world is composed of spam emails: offers for pills or money, forged bank notifications, and so on. That is why, it is rather important to use email filters in order to avoid not only spam email messages, but also any possibility of being scammed somehow. Email filters detect different things, so as to provide higher levels of security – certain words or the frequency with which they occur in the text, the sender’s email address, or the IP address of the sender’s SMTP email server. Web hosts often make use of the services of third-party spam-detecting organizations that provide up-to-the-minute databases to make spam filtering easier and more effective without affecting genuine messages, even if they contain suspicious words.
Spam Filters in Shared Hosting
Our shared hosting servers employ one of the very best spam filters available on the market. It’s called SpamAssassin and is available with every cloud web hosting package, so if you host your domains with us, you can pick one of the five security levels that the filter offers for any mailbox that you’ve got here. You can accomplish this with only two clicks from the Email Manager section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel that’s used to manage all cloud web hosting accounts. SpamAssassin checks the header section and the body of every email message, gives it a spam score and then continues on the basis of the level that you’ve picked. Every email account can have a different setting and you can choose whether the email messages that the anti-spam filter labels as spam should be erased or redirected to a separate email address where you can view them later, so as to prevent erasing an authentic email message. Switching to some other level or disabling the protection is also truly easy.
Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you use a semi-dedicated server plan from our company and if you set up one or more mailboxes with any of the domains hosted under your account, you will be able to activate the powerful, five-level SpamAssassin filter that we offer and keep all unwelcome emails out of your inbox. This option is accessible through the Email Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel and it can be enabled or disabled for any mailbox at any time. You can also fine-tune the level of safety with several clicks of the mouse in case junk email messages still enter your mailbox or the spam filter starts erasing genuine messages. As you can choose if the spam should be erased instantly or re-sent to another email address, you can set up spam@domain.com, for instance, and view all filtered email messages there, so as to ensure that you will not omit an email that you require. The email messages that the filter permits to go through will still appear in your mailbox.
