A spam filter is an app that obstructs undesired messages from entering a particular inbox. An immense percentage of the email correspondence around the globe is composed of spam messages: offers for pills or money, fraudulent banking notifications, etc. Because of this, it is pretty important to activate filters in order to avoid not only unsolicited bulk emails, but also any chance of being swindled somehow. Email filters detect different things, so as to guarantee higher levels of protection – particular words and phrases or the frequency with which they appear in the text, the sender’s address, or the IP address of the sender’s email server. Hosting companies frequently resort to the services of 3rd-party spam-tracing organizations that offer up-to-the-minute databases in order to make email filtering better and simpler without affecting authentic email messages, even if they comprise suspicious words.

Spam Filters in Cloud Hosting

If you reach the decision to host your domains with us and you pick any of our Linux cloud plans, you’ll be able to activate spam filters for any email account that you set up. With several clicks in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel, you can configure 5 separate safety levels. If you continue to get unsolicited bulk emails or the spam filters start preventing legitimate emails from reaching your mailbox, you can switch to another level just as easily. The efficiency of our spam detection solution is guaranteed by one of the most famous spam filters – SpamAssassin. In case you do not want to risk missing an authentic message that may be flagged as spam due to its content, you can also configure custom email filters based on the body, the subject or the sender of the message and forward the emails to another email address where you can check them at a later time.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you take advantage of one of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting plans, you won’t need to worry about junk email messages clogging your mailboxes every once in a while, as you can resort to the popular SpamAssassin spam filter that we offer with every semi-dedicated server account. Our in-house created Hepsia hosting Control Panel will permit you to enable the filter for any email account with a few mouse clicks and you can choose any of the five levels of protection – from very low to very high. The level can be changed at any moment if, for instance, genuine messages get blocked, or if unsolicited bulk emails go through and appear in your inbox. To be on the safe side, you can choose all filtered emails to be forwarded to a special email account such as [email protected] and not to be erased. Thus, you can go through them from time to time to make sure that you haven’t missed a genuine email.
