A spam filter is a software app that prevents unsolicited emails from reaching a given mailbox. A significant percentage of the email correspondence around the world is composed of spam messages: offers for pills or cash, sham banking notifications, etc. That is why, it’s pretty important to use email filters to avoid not only spam messages, but also any possibility of being ripped off in some way. Filters detect different things, so as to deliver higher levels of protection – specific words and phrases or the frequency with which they surface in the text, the sender’s email address, or the IP of the sender’s outbound mail server. Web hosting companies often make use of the services of 3rd-party spam-detecting organizations that provide up-to-date databases to render spam filtering easier and more efficient without affecting authentic messages, even if they include suspicious words.
Spam Filters in Web Hosting
If you get a web hosting plan from us and if you make use of our mail services, you’ll be able to set up spam filtering for any of the mailboxes that you set up from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. With no more than a couple of clicks of the mouse, you can select between five different levels of security. In case you start getting spam, you can begin with the lowest level and then gradually increase the level till you stop receiving spam. We use one of the very best and most popular spam filters out there called SpamAssassin. It analyzes the header and the body of each and every email message that you get and determines a spam score, based on which it either deletes a certain message or permits it to enter your inbox. Hepsia will also allow you to activate custom email filters and either eliminate unwelcome emails or send them to a 3rd-party address such as spam@domain.com where you can check them once more at a later time.
Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you order a semi-dedicated server plan from our company and if you create one or more email addresses with any of the domains hosted in your account, you will be able to activate the advanced, five-level SpamAssassin email filter that we offer and keep all unwanted messages away from your inbox. This service is accessible through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section and it can be enabled or disabled for any email account at any time. You can also adjust the level of security with a few clicks in case unsolicited bulk emails still enter your mailbox or the spam filter starts removing genuine messages. Since you can choose whether the spam should be deleted straight away or forwarded to a separate email address, you can create spam@domain.com, for instance, and view all filtered messages there, so as to make certain that you won’t miss a message that you need. The messages that the spam filter permits to proceed will still appear in your mailbox.
