A spam filter is an application that stops unasked-for messages from reaching a particular mailbox. An enormous percentage of the email correspondence around the globe involves spam emails: offers for pills or money, fake bank notifications, etc. For this reason, it is pretty important to activate filters to avoid not only spam email messages, but also any chance of being scammed somehow. Spam filters detect various things, so as to guarantee higher levels of security – certain words or the frequency with which they appear in the text, the sender’s address, or the IP address of the sender’s outbound SMTP email server. Hosting companies often use the services of third-party spam-monitoring organizations that offer up-to-date databases to render email filtering simpler and more effective without affecting genuine messages, even if they contain suspicious words.
Spam Filters in Web Hosting
If you get a web hosting plan from us and if you take advantage of our email services, you’ll be able to enable spam filtering for any of the email accounts that you create from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel. With no more than a few clicks, you can pick between 5 different levels of safety. If you start getting spam, you can begin with the lowest level and then gradually raise the level till you stop receiving spam. We make use of one of the best and most popular filters out there called SpamAssassin. It checks the header section and the body of every message that you get and determines a spam score, based on which it either deletes a specific email message or allows it to reach your mailbox. Hepsia will also permit you to create custom email filters and either get rid of undesired email messages or send them to a 3rd-party address such as spam@domain.com where you can read them once again later.
Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you get a semi-dedicated server plan from our company and if you set up one or more mailboxes with any of the domains hosted in your account, you’ll be able to enable the powerful, five-level SpamAssassin email filter that we offer and keep all unsolicited messages away from your mailbox. This feature is accessible through the Email Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel and it can be activated or deactivated for any mailbox whenever you like. You can also alter the level of protection with several clicks if spam email messages continue to enter your inbox or the email filter begins deleting authentic emails. As you can choose if the spam should be deleted immediately or re-sent to another email account, you can set up spam@domain.com, for example, and check all filtered emails there, so as to ensure that you will not omit a message that you require. The email messages that the filter allows to proceed will still appear in your mailbox.
