An email filter is an app that blocks unasked-for emails from reaching a particular mailbox. A large percentage of the email traffic around the world involves spam messages: offers for pills or money, forged bank notifications, and so on. This is why, it is quite important to activate filters in order to avoid not only spam messages, but also any chance of being ripped off in some way. Spam filters detect various things, so as to ensure higher levels of security – certain words and phrases or the frequency with which they surface in the text, the sender’s email address, or the IP of the sender’s outgoing SMTP mail server. Web hosts frequently rely on the services of 3rd-party spam-monitoring organizations that offer up-to-the-minute databases in order to render spam filtering better and easier without affecting genuine emails, even if they comprise suspicious words or phrases.
Spam Filters in Shared Hosting
Our shared hosting servers rely on one of the best spam filters available on the market. It’s called SpamAssassin and is included with every package, so in case you host your domains with our company, you can choose one of the 5 security levels that the filter offers for any mailbox that you have here. You can do this with only two mouse clicks from the Email Manager section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel that’s used to manage all shared web hosting accounts. SpamAssassin analyzes the header and the body of every email, gives it a spam score and then proceeds on the basis of the level that you’ve picked. Each mailbox can have a different setting and you can choose if the messages that the anti-spam filter flags as spam should be erased or redirected to some other mailbox where you can view them at a later point in time, so as to prevent erasing a genuine email message. Switching to some other level or deactivating the protection is also exceptionally easy.
Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated server accounts offer top-notch anti-spam protection guaranteed by the popular SpamAssassin email filter, which classifies all inbound messages based on a spam score in accordance with patterns and parameters, such as the recurrence of particular keywords and phrases, the subject, the sender, etc. When you activate the filter for any account via the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel, you can pick between five separate safety levels – from very high to very low. If you still get unsolicited bulk emails, you can increase the level, or if legitimate messages are classified as spam, you can lower it. Activating or deactivating the spam protection takes as little as 2 clicks of the mouse and you can choose if the filtered messages should be deleted straight away or if they should be delivered to a designated email account where you can review them at a later time, so as to ensure that valuable messages will not disappear.
