Most of the email messages sent around the globe these days are spam, i.e. unwanted messages with various offers or with links to malicious software. Not only are such emails irritating, but they also present a risk to your computer, not to mention that you may get swindled. For this reason, a lot of email providers resort to spam filters, which are apps that monitor all incoming email messages and filter out the unwanted ones based on their content – what words an email message consists of and how many times they’re referred to, what site a particular hyperlink leads to, what mail server the email message is sent from, and so on. Some hosting providers also make use of the databases of spam-monitoring organizations devoted to providing the most up-to-date information about undesired email messages, to make certain that their customers won’t receive any message in their inbox that should not be there.

Spam Filters in Cloud Hosting

If you get a cloud hosting plan from us and if you make use of our mail services, you’ll be able to activate anti-spam protection for any of the mailboxes that you set up from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel. With only a few clicks of the mouse, you can pick between 5 separate security levels. If you start getting spam, you can begin with the lowest level and then gradually boost the level till you stop getting spam. We use one of the very best and most famous filters available called SpamAssassin. It analyzes the header and the body of each message that you get and determines a spam score, based on which it either erases a certain message or permits it to enter your mailbox. The Hepsia Control Panel will also permit you to activate custom spam filters and either get rid of unasked-for email messages or redirect them to a 3rd-party address such as spam@domain.com where you can check them once again later.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you get a semi-dedicated server plan from our company and if you set up one or more mailboxes with any of the domain names hosted under your account, you’ll be able to enable the advanced, 5-level SpamAssassin anti-spam filter that we offer and keep all unwanted emails out of your mailbox. This functionality is accessible through the Email Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel and it can be activated or deactivated for any email account whenever you want. You can also fine-tune the level of security with a couple of mouse clicks in case spam messages continue to appear in your inbox or the email filter begins erasing genuine messages. Since you can choose whether the spam should be erased momentarily or redirected to a separate mailbox, you can create spam@domain.com, for instance, and view all filtered email messages there, so as to ensure that you will not omit an email message that you require. The emails that the filter permits to proceed will still be received in your mailbox.
