Most of the emails sent around the world nowadays are spam, i.e. unwanted messages with various offers or with hyperlinks to malicious software. Not only are such emails aggravating, but they also pose a threat to your own personal computer, not to mention that you may get ripped off. That is why, plenty of mail service providers rely on spam filters, which are applications that monitor all inbound messages and filter out the unwanted ones on the basis of their content – what words an email message consists of and how often they’re mentioned, what website a certain hyperlink opens, what outbound SMTP mail server the message comes from, etc. Certain hosting companies also use the databases of spam-detecting organizations devoted to providing the most up-to-date information about unwelcome emails, to make certain that their customers will not get any email in their inbox that is not supposed to be there.
Spam Filters in Shared Hosting
If you get a shared hosting plan from our company and if you make use of our email services, you’ll be able to set up anti-spam protection for any of the mailboxes that you create from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel. With just several clicks, you can select between 5 different levels of safety. If you start getting spam, you can begin with the lowest level and then gradually boost the level until you stop receiving spam. We rely on one of the best and most popular filters out there called SpamAssassin. It examines the header field and the body of each email that you receive and determines a spam score, based on which it either erases a particular message or permits it to enter your inbox. Hepsia will also allow you to create custom email filters and either get rid of undesired emails or send them to a third-party address such as spam@domain.com where you can examine them once again afterwards.
Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated server accounts provide top-level anti-spam protection ensured by the popular SpamAssassin filter, which ranks all inbound messages based on a spam score that depends on parameters and patterns, such as the recurrence of specific keywords and phrases, the sender, the subject, etc. When you activate the filter for any account through the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you can pick between five separate safety levels – from very low to very high. If you continue to get unsolicited bulk email messages, you can raise the level, or if authentic messages are tagged as spam, you can decrease it. Activating or deactivating the anti-spam protection takes as little as 2 mouse clicks and you can choose if the filtered messages should be erased instantaneously or if they should be redirected to a designated mailbox where you can check them later, so as to ensure that valuable emails will not disappear.
