An email filter is a software app that impedes unwanted emails from reaching a given mailbox. A considerable percentage of the email communication around the world consists of spam email messages: offers for pills or money, forged bank notifications, etc. That’s why, it is pretty important to activate filters to avoid not only unsolicited bulk emails, but also any possibility of being swindled somehow. Spam filters detect different things, so as to ensure better protection – specific words and phrases or the frequency with which they appear in the text, the sender’s address, or the IP address of the sender’s email server. Web hosting providers frequently make use of the services of 3rd-party spam-tracing organizations that offer up-to-date databases to make spam filtering better and easier without affecting legitimate email messages, even if they contain suspicious words or phrases.
Spam Filters in Website Hosting
Our website hosting servers use one of the best spam filters out there. It’s called SpamAssassin and is included with each and every web hosting package, so in case you host your domain names with us, you can choose one of the five levels of security that the filter offers for any mailbox that you’ve got here. You can do this with just two mouse clicks from the Email Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel that’s used to manage all hosting accounts. SpamAssassin examines the header section and the content of every email, gives it a spam score and then continues based on the level that you’ve picked. Each mailbox can have a different setting and you can choose whether the messages that the spam filter marks as spam should be deleted or redirected to a separate email account where you can read them at a later point in time, so as to avoid erasing a genuine email message. Switching to some other level or deactivating the spam protection is also remarkably easy.
Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you order a semi-dedicated server plan from our company and if you create one or more email accounts with any of the domains hosted under the account, you’ll be able to enable the powerful, 5-level SpamAssassin email filter that we provide and keep all undesirable emails out of your inbox. This feature is accessible through the Email Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel and it can be enabled or disabled for any mailbox whenever you like. You can also change the safety level with a few clicks if unsolicited bulk messages continue to enter your inbox or the spam filter starts erasing legitimate email messages. As you can select whether the spam should be erased right away or delivered to a different mailbox, you can create spam@domain.com, for instance, and check all filtered emails there, so as to make sure that you will not omit a message that you require. The emails that the anti-spam filter allows to proceed will still be received in your inbox.
