An email filter is an app that blocks unwanted email messages from entering a particular mailbox. A considerable percentage of the email communication around the world involves spam emails: offers for pills or money, false banking notifications, and so on. This is why, it is very important to activate email filters to avoid not only unsolicited bulk emails, but also any chance of being conned somehow. Spam filters detect different things, so as to ensure higher levels of protection – particular words and phrases or the frequency with which they appear in the text, the sender’s address, or the IP of the sender’s outbound SMTP server. Web hosting providers often make use of the services of 3rd-party spam-tracking organizations that provide up-to-date databases to render spam filtering simpler and more effective without affecting authentic messages, even if they contain suspicious words or phrases.

Spam Filters in Cloud Hosting

In case you decide to host your domains with us and you select any of our cloud hosting, you will be able to set up spam filtering for any email address that you create. With several mouse clicks in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you can switch between five separate security levels. If you continue to receive junk emails or the filters start preventing legitimate emails from entering your mailbox, you can change the level just as easily. The quality of our spam detection solution is guaranteed by one of the most popular filters – SpamAssassin. In case you do not want to risk omitting a genuine email message that may be classified as spam owing to its content, you can also set up custom email filters based on the body, the sender or the subject of the message and re-send the emails to some other mailbox where you can read them later.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting

In case you take advantage of one of our semi-dedicated hosting, you will not have to worry about unsolicited bulk messages clogging your mailboxes every now and then, as you can resort to the popular SpamAssassin spam filter that we provide with each and every semi-dedicated server account. Our in-house developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel will permit you to activate the filter for any email account with a couple of clicks of the mouse and you can choose one of the five levels of security – from very low to very high. The level can be altered at any moment if, for instance, authentic emails get blocked, or if spam emails go through and reach your Inbox folder. To be on the safe side, you can choose all filtered emails to be re-sent to a special mailbox like spam@your-domain.com and not to be erased. In this way, you can examine them from time to time to ensure that you haven’t missed a genuine message.
