An email filter is a software application that prevents undesired messages from entering a particular inbox. A large percentage of the email traffic around the world consists of spam messages: offers for pills or money, fraudulent bank notifications, and so on. That is why, it is very important to use email filters in order to avoid not only spam emails, but also any possibility of being scammed in some way. Filters detect various things, so as to deliver higher levels of safety – particular words or the frequency with which they surface in the text, the sender’s address, or the IP of the sender’s outbound mail server. Web hosting providers frequently use the services of 3rd-party spam-detecting organizations that offer up-to-date databases in order to make spam filtering simpler and more efficient without affecting genuine messages, even if they comprise suspicious words or phrases.

Spam Filters in Hosting

In case you decide to host your domain names with us and you choose any of our hosting plans, you will be able to set up spam filtering for any email address that you create. With several clicks of the mouse in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel, you can configure 5 different security levels. In case you continue to get unsolicited bulk emails or the spam filters start preventing genuine emails from entering your mailbox, you can switch to another 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 skipping a legitimate email that may be mistaken for spam because of its content, you can also configure custom email filters based on the sender, the body or the subject of the email message and forward the emails to a separate email address where you can view them at a later point in time.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you take advantage of one of our Linux semi-dedicated plans, you will not have to worry about spam messages stuffing your mailboxes all the time, as you can make use of the popular SpamAssassin filter that we offer with each and every account. Our custom-developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel will permit you to enable the filter for any mailbox with several clicks of the mouse and you can choose any of the 5 levels of safety – from very high to very low. The level can be altered at any moment if, for example, authentic emails get filtered, or if spam email messages go through and reach your Inbox folder. To be on the safe side, you can choose all filtered email messages to be forwarded to a special mailbox like spam@your-domain.com and not to be deleted. Thus, you can go through them every now and then to make sure that you have not missed a legitimate email message.
