Most emails sent around the globe these days are spam, in other words – unasked-for messages with various offers or with hyperlinks to malicious software. Not only are such email messages aggravating, but they also pose a risk to your own personal computer, not to mention that you may get conned. Because of this, a lot of mail service providers resort to spam filters, which are applications that ‘scan’ all inbound emails and filter the undesirable ones on the basis of their content – what words an email contains and how many times they’re mentioned, what site a given hyperlink redirects to, what outbound email server the email message comes from, and so on. Some web hosting providers also use the databases of spam-tracking organizations devoted to the provision of the most up-to-date information about unwanted emails, to make sure that their customers won’t receive any email message in their inbox that should not be there.

Spam Filters in Shared Website Hosting

Our shared website hosting servers use one of the very best spam filters available on the market. It’s called SpamAssassin and is included with each and every cloud hosting plan, so if you host your domains with us, you can select one of the five levels of safety that the anti-spam filter offers for any mailbox that you’ve got here. You can accomplish this with only 2 clicks from the Email Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel that is used to manage all shared accounts. SpamAssassin analyzes the header section and the content of every email, calculates a spam score and then continues according to the level that you have picked. Each email account can have a different setting and you can select if the messages that the anti-spam filter classifies as spam should be deleted or delivered to a separate email account where you can check them at a later point in time, so as to prevent deleting a legitimate message. Changing the level or deactivating the anti-spam protection is also amazingly easy.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you order a semi-dedicated server plan from our company and if you create one or more mailboxes with any of the domains hosted in the account, you’ll be able to enable the advanced, 5-level SpamAssassin email filter that we provide and keep all unwanted email messages away from your mailbox. This service is accessible through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section and it can be activated or deactivated for any mailbox at any moment. You can also alter the safety level with a few clicks in case unsolicited bulk email messages continue to enter your mailbox or the filter begins removing genuine messages. Since you can select if the spam should be erased immediately or forwarded to another email account, you can create spam@domain.com, for instance, and view all filtered emails there, so as to make sure that you will not omit a message that you need. The email messages that the filter allows to proceed will still appear in your inbox.
