An email filter is a software application that is installed on an email server and keeps track of all inbound messages in order to impede any unasked-for ones from entering a specific inbox. Several examples of such email messages would be: offers for pills or cash, false banking notifications or email attachments that contain malicious software sent with the idea to damage your computer. Spam filters normally check the content of an email and when they detect specific keywords or other suspicious content, they either erase the email message or redirect it to the Spam/Junk folder instead of the Inbox folder. Certain web hosting providers mix their own spam filters with up-to-the-minute databases from spam-detecting organizations, so as to guarantee better safety for their customers. Such databases contain patterns, mail server IPs and other information about spam emails recently uncovered by these organizations.

Spam Filters in Shared Hosting

The protection of any mailbox that you create under a shared hosting account with us is ensured by the advanced SpamAssassin filter that we employ. You can enable it through the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel and it comes with five safety levels based on the spam score given to every message depending on various parameters, such as the recurrence of given words, the sender, etc. If you keep receiving unsolicited bulk email messages, you can always raise the level or if you’re afraid that you may omit a genuine email, you can combine the automatic filter with a custom one and redirect all messages from a particular sender to a different mailbox. In case you reach the decision that you no longer require an email filter for a particular mailbox, you can disable it with only a few clicks of the mouse.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server accounts come with top-class anti-spam protection guaranteed by the popular SpamAssassin filter, which sorts all inbound messages on the basis of a spam score in accordance with patterns and parameters, such as the recurrence of specific keywords and phrases, the subject, the sender, etc. When you activate the filter for any email account via the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you can select between five separate safety levels – from very low to very high. If you keep receiving unsolicited bulk messages, you can raise the level, or if authentic messages are reported as spam, you can lower it. Activating or deactivating the spam protection takes as little as 2 clicks of the mouse and you can select if the filtered emails should be erased right away or if they should be re-sent to a designated email account where you can read them at a later point in time, so as to make sure that the messages that you need will not get lost.
