Most of the email messages sent around the globe these days are spam, i.e. unwanted messages with different offers or with hyperlinks to malicious software. Not only are such email messages annoying, but they also present a risk to your own personal computer, not to mention that you may get swindled. That’s the reason why plenty of mail service providers resort to email filters, which are software applications that ‘scan’ all inbound email messages and filter out the unwanted ones based on their content – what words or phrases an email includes and how often they’re mentioned, what site a certain link points to, what SMTP email server the email comes from, etc. Certain web hosts also make use of the databases of spam-monitoring organizations dedicated to providing the most up-to-the-minute info about undesirable emails, to ensure that their customers won’t get any email in their inbox that is not supposed to be there.
Spam Filters in Shared Hosting
If you order a shared hosting package from us and if you use our mail services, you will be able to enable anti-spam protection for any of the email accounts that you set up 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 security. In case you start receiving spam, you can begin with the lowest one and then slowly increase the level till you stop getting spam. We rely on one of the very best and most famous filters available called SpamAssassin. It ‘scans’ the header field and the body of each email message that you receive and calculates a spam score, based on which it either deletes a specific email or allows it to reach your inbox. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel will also allow you to configure custom filters and either get rid of unwanted messages or re-send them to a 3rd-party address such as spam@domain.com where you can view them again afterwards.
Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our semi-dedicated server packages deliver top-of-the-line anti-spam protection guaranteed by the popular SpamAssassin email filter, which rates all inbound emails on the basis of a spam score in accordance with parameters and patterns, such as the frequency of particular keywords and phrases, the subject, the sender, and so on. When you enable the filter for any account through the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel, you can pick between five different levels – from very low to very high. If you still receive unsolicited bulk emails, you can raise the level, or if legitimate messages are mistaken for spam, you can lower it. Activating or deactivating the anti-spam protection requires as little as 2 clicks and you can select if the filtered messages should be deleted straight away or if they should be delivered to a designated email address where you can view them at a later time, so as to ensure that valuable messages will not disappear.
