Spam Filters
What is an e-mail spam filter? How does one function? How can you activate spam filtering?
Most of the emails sent around the globe nowadays are spam, in other words – unsolicited messages with various offers or with hyperlinks to malicious software. Not only are such emails aggravating, but they also present a threat to your own personal computer, not to mention that you may be ripped off. This is the reason why many email service providers rely on email filters, which are applications that keep track of all inbound email messages and filter the unwanted ones based on their content – what words an email consists of and how often they’re cited, what website a certain hyperlink redirects to, what SMTP mail server the message is sent from, and so on. Some hosting providers also make use of the databases of spam-tracking organizations devoted to the provision of the most up-to-date info about unwelcome email messages, to make sure that their customers will not get any email in their mailbox that shouldn’t be there.

Spam Filters in Cloud Hosting
If you decide to host your domains with us and you pick any of our
cloud hosting, you’ll be able to enable anti-spam protection for any email account that you set up. With several clicks in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you can switch between five separate levels of safety. If you still get unsolicited bulk email messages or the spam filters start preventing legitimate messages from entering your inbox, you can switch to another level just as easily. The quality of our spam protection solution is ensured by one of the most popular spam filters – SpamAssassin. If you don’t want to risk omitting a legitimate message that may be flagged as spam because of its content, you can also configure custom email filters based on the sender, the subject or the body of the email message and forward the emails to a different email account where you can read them later.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our
semi-dedicated server plans deliver excellent anti-spam protection guaranteed by the popular SpamAssassin filter, which classifies all incoming emails based on a spam score in accordance with patterns and parameters, such as the recurrence of specific keywords and phrases, the subject, the sender, and so on. When you enable the filter for any mailbox via the Hepsia Control Panel’s Email Manager section, you can select between 5 different protection levels – from very low to very high. If you continue to get spam email messages, you can increase the level, or if authentic email messages are labeled as spam, you can lower it. Activating or deactivating the spam protection requires as little as 2 mouse clicks and you can select if the filtered email messages should be deleted instantly or if they should be forwarded to a chosen mailbox where you can view them later, so as to make certain that valuable email messages will not get lost.
