A spam filter is an app that prevents undesirable emails from reaching a particular inbox. A considerable percentage of the email communication around the world is composed of spam messages: offers for pills or cash, fake banking notifications, and so on. That’s why, it is rather important to use filters to avoid not only spam email messages, but also any chance of being scammed in some way. Filters detect different things, so as to guarantee better security – specific 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 server. Hosting providers often resort to the services of 3rd-party spam-detecting organizations that offer up-to-date databases in order to render spam filtering simpler and more efficient without affecting authentic email messages, even if they include suspicious words.
Spam Filters in Website Hosting
The security of any mailbox that you set up under a website hosting account with us is ensured by the powerful SpamAssassin filter that we employ. You can enable it via the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel and it comes with five security levels based on the spam score it gives to each and every message depending on different parameters, such as the recurrence of given words and phrases, the sender, and so on. If you keep getting spam messages, you can always increase the level or if you are afraid that you may miss a legitimate email, you can combine the automatic filter with a custom one and redirect all email messages from a specific sender to a separate email account. If you reach the decision that you no longer want an email filter for a certain mailbox, you can disable it with only a few clicks of the mouse.
Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you use a semi-dedicated server package from our company and if you set up one or more mailboxes with any of the domain names hosted in the account, you’ll be able to activate the powerful, 5-level SpamAssassin anti-spam filter that we provide and keep all unwanted messages away from your inbox. This option is accessible through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section and it can be activated or deactivated for any email account at any time. You can also adjust the level of safety with a few clicks of the mouse in case spam emails continue to appear in your mailbox or the spam filter starts erasing genuine email messages. As you can choose if the spam should be deleted instantly or redirected to a separate email account, you can create spam@domain.com, for instance, and check all filtered email messages there, so as to make sure that you won’t miss an email that you require. The emails that the filter permits to go through will still be received in your inbox.
