Most emails sent around the globe these days are spam, i.e. undesired messages with various offers or with hyperlinks to malicious software. Not only are such emails aggravating, but they also present a threat to your own computer, not to mention that you may be conned. That is the reason why a lot of mail service providers rely on email filters, which are software applications that keep track of all inbound emails and filter out the unwanted ones on the basis of their content – what words or phrases an email message includes and how often they’re mentioned, what website a specific link points to, what outgoing mail server the email message is sent from, and so on. Certain companies also make use of the databases of spam-detecting organizations devoted to providing the most up-to-the-minute information about undesired emails, to make certain that their clients won’t receive any message in their inbox that should not be there.

Spam Filters in Cloud Hosting

If you get a cloud hosting package from our company and if you make use of our mail services, you’ll be able to enable anti-spam protection for any of the email accounts that you set up from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel. With no more than several mouse clicks, you can choose between five different protection levels. If you start receiving spam, you can start with the lowest one and then gradually boost the level till you stop receiving spam. We use one of the best and most famous filters available called SpamAssassin. It ‘scans’ the header section and the body of each and every message that you get and calculates a spam score, based on which it either deletes a particular email or allows it to reach your inbox. The Hepsia Control Panel will also allow you to set up custom email filters and either eliminate unwelcome email messages or re-send them to a 3rd-party address such as spam@domain.com where you can examine them once more afterwards.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting

In case you use one of our semi-dedicated hosting packages, you won’t need to worry about unsolicited bulk messages filling up your mailboxes all the time, as you can resort to the popular SpamAssassin email filter that we offer with each account. Our custom-developed Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to activate the filter for any email account with a couple of mouse clicks and you can select any of the five safety levels – from very low to very high. The level can be changed at any time if, for instance, legitimate messages get blocked, or if unsolicited bulk emails go through and reach your inbox. To take no chances, you can choose all filtered messages to be re-sent to a special mailbox such as spam@your-domain.com and not to be deleted. Thus, you can check them from time to time to make certain that you haven’t missed out on a genuine email.
