A spam filter is a piece of software that is installed on an email server and monitors all incoming emails so as to obstruct any unasked-for ones from reaching a particular inbox. Several examples of such emails would be: offers for pills or cash, fraudulent banking notices or email attachments that contain malicious code sent with the intention to infect your computer. Spam filters usually examine the content of an email and in case they detect certain keywords or other dubious content, they either delete the message or forward it to the Junk/Spam folder instead of the Inbox folder. Some web hosts combine their own spam filters with up-to-date databases from spam-detecting organizations, so as to guarantee higher levels of protection for their customers. Such databases include patterns, mail server IP addresses and other information about spam messages recently reported by these organizations.

Spam Filters in Web Hosting

If you order a web hosting plan from our company and if you make use of our mail services, you’ll be able to set up spam filters for any of the email accounts that you set up from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. With only several clicks, you can pick between five separate security levels. If you start receiving spam, you can begin with the lowest level and then slowly boost the level until you stop receiving spam. We rely on one of the very best and most famous spam filters out there called SpamAssassin. It analyzes the header field and the body of each email that you receive and calculates a spam score, based on which it either erases a given email message or permits it to enter your inbox. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel will also permit you to activate custom email filters and either eliminate unasked-for messages or forward them to a third-party address like spam@domain.com where you can check them once again at a later point in time.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated server plans deliver top-notch spam protection guaranteed by the famous SpamAssassin spam filter, which ranks all inbound email messages on the basis of a spam score in accordance with parameters and patterns, such as the recurrence of specific keywords, the sender, the subject, etc. When you activate the filter for any mailbox through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section, you can select between five different levels of security – from very low to very high. If you continue to receive spam, you can increase the level, or if legitimate email messages are labeled as spam, you can decrease it. Activating or deactivating the anti-spam protection takes as little as 2 clicks and you can choose if the filtered emails should be erased momentarily or if they should be delivered to a chosen email account where you can review them later, so as to make sure that important email messages will not get lost.
