A spam filter is an app that stops undesirable emails from entering a given mailbox. A considerable percentage of the email correspondence around the world is composed of spam messages: offers for pills or cash, fraudulent banking notifications, and so on. For this reason, it is quite important to use filters to avoid not only unsolicited bulk email messages, but also any chance of being scammed somehow. Spam filters detect various things, so as to ensure better safety – certain words or the frequency with which they surface in the text, the sender’s address, or the IP address of the sender’s outgoing server. Web hosting providers often use the services of 3rd-party spam-tracking organizations that provide up-to-date databases to render email filtering simpler and more effective without affecting legitimate messages, even if they comprise suspicious words or phrases.
Spam Filters in Website Hosting
The security of any email account that you set up in a website hosting account with our company is guaranteed by the advanced SpamAssassin spam filter that we employ. You can enable it through the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel and it comes with 5 safety levels based on the spam score it gives to each message in accordance with various criteria, such as the recurrence of particular words, the sender, etc. If you keep getting junk messages, you can always raise the level or if you are scared that you may skip a legitimate email message, you can combine the automated filter with a custom one and redirect all email messages from a given sender to another email address. In case you decide that you no longer require a spam filter for a specific email account, you can disable it with no more than a few mouse clicks.
Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers
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 under your account, you’ll be able to activate the advanced, 5-level SpamAssassin anti-spam filter that we provide and keep all unwelcome email messages out of your mailbox. This functionality is accessible through the Email Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel and it can be enabled or disabled for any mailbox whenever you wish. You can also adjust the security level with a couple of clicks of the mouse if junk messages still reach your mailbox or the email filter starts deleting genuine email messages. As you can select whether the spam should be deleted right away or re-sent to a separate email address, you can set up spam@domain.com, for example, and check all filtered emails there, so as to ensure that you will not miss an email that you need. The messages that the email filter allows to proceed will still be delivered to your inbox.
