Most of the emails sent around the world nowadays are spam, in other words – undesired messages with various offers or with links to malicious software. Not only are such emails annoying, but they also pose a threat to your own computer, not to mention that you may be ripped off. That is why, numerous mail service providers use email filters, which are apps that keep track of all inbound emails and filter the undesired ones on the basis of their content – what words an email contains and how many times they are mentioned, what site a given link leads to, what mail server the message comes from, and so on. Some web hosts also use the databases of spam-tracking organizations dedicated to the provision of the most up-to-date information about unwanted messages, to make sure that their customers will not get any email in their mailbox that should not be there.
Spam Filters in Shared Hosting
If you decide to host your domains with our company and you select any of our shared plans, you will be able to enable anti-spam protection for any mailbox that you set up. With a couple of mouse clicks in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel, you can switch between five separate levels of safety. In case you continue to get junk email messages or the spam filters start preventing genuine messages from entering your inbox, you can switch to some other level just as easily. The quality of our anti-spam service is guaranteed by one of the most popular spam filters – SpamAssassin. If you don’t want to risk missing an authentic email message that may be blocked as spam owing to its content, you can also create custom email filters based on the body, the sender or the subject of the email message and forward the emails to a different email address where you can view them later.
Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated server packages offer top-class anti-spam protection guaranteed by the popular SpamAssassin spam filter, which ranks all inbound email messages based on a spam score that depends on 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 pick between 5 different levels of protection – from very low to very high. If you still get spam messages, you can raise the level, or if legitimate emails are marked as spam, you can lower it. Activating or deactivating the spam protection requires as little as 2 clicks and you can choose if the filtered email messages should be erased right away or if they should be redirected to a designated mailbox where you can read them at a later point in time, so as to make sure that the email messages that you need won’t disappear.
