An email filter is a piece of software that is installed on a mail server and keeps track of all inbound emails so as to stop any unsolicited ones from entering a particular inbox. Several instances of such emails would be: offers for pills or cash, fake banking notices or email attachments that contain malware sent with the intention to infect your personal computer. Email filters normally check the content of an email and when they spot certain keywords or other dubious content, they either delete the email message or re-send it to the Spam/Junk folder instead of the Inbox folder. Certain web hosting companies mix their own email filters with up-to-date databases from spam-tracking organizations, so as to guarantee higher levels of safety for their clients. Such databases include patterns, email server IPs and other information about spam messages recently reported by these organizations.

Spam Filters in Shared Web Hosting

The safety of any mailbox that you create in a shared web hosting account with us is ensured by the advanced SpamAssassin email filter that we employ. You can enable it through the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel and it offers 5 safety levels based on the spam score given to every email message depending on various parameters, such as the recurrence of specific words, the sender, etc. If you keep getting spam email messages, you can always raise the level or if you’re afraid that you may miss an authentic email, you can combine the automatic filter with a custom one and redirect all email messages from a given sender to another email account. If you reach the decision that you no longer need anti-spam protection for a certain email account, you can disable it with no more than several clicks of the mouse.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated server plans offer top-notch anti-spam protection ensured by the famous SpamAssassin spam filter, which classifies all incoming emails on the basis of a spam score that depends on patterns and parameters, such as the recurrence of certain keywords, the subject, the sender, and so on. When you activate the filter for any account through the Hepsia Control Panel’s Email Manager section, you can select between five separate security levels – from very low to very high. If you continue to receive junk emails, you can raise the level, or if legitimate email messages are classified as spam, you can lower it. Enabling or disabling the anti-spam protection takes as little as 2 mouse clicks and you can select if the filtered messages should be deleted instantaneously or if they should be forwarded to a chosen email account where you can examine them at a later point in time, so as to make certain that important emails won’t disappear.
