Spam Filters
What is an e-mail spam filter? How does one function? How to enable spam filtering?
Most of the email messages sent around the globe these days are spam, in other words – unwelcome messages with various offers or with hyperlinks to malware. Not only are such emails aggravating, but they also present a threat to your PC, not to mention that you may be ripped off. That’s why, a lot of email service providers resort to spam filters, which are applications that keep track of all incoming emails and filter the undesired ones based on their content – what words an email message includes and how many times they’re referred to, what site a particular link leads to, what outgoing SMTP mail server the message is sent from, etc. Certain hosting companies also rely on the databases of spam-monitoring organizations devoted to providing the most up-to-date information about undesired messages, to ensure that their clients will not get any email message in their mailbox that shouldn’t be there.

Spam Filters in Shared Website Hosting
The safety of any mailbox that you create in a
shared website hosting account with our company is guaranteed by the advanced SpamAssassin email filter that we use. You can enable it through the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and it comes with 5 levels of security based on the spam score given to each and every email message depending on different criteria, such as the recurrence of specific words and phrases, the sender, etc. If you keep receiving unsolicited bulk messages, you can always increase the level or if you are scared that you may omit a legitimate email message, you can combine the automated filter with a custom one and redirect all emails from a given sender to some other mailbox. In case you decide that you no longer require a spam filter for a certain mailbox, you can disable it with only a few clicks of the mouse.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our
semi-dedicated server plans deliver top-class spam protection ensured by the famous SpamAssassin spam filter, which sorts all incoming email messages on the basis of a spam score that depends on parameters and patterns, such as the frequency of certain keywords, the sender, the subject, and so on. When you enable the filter for any account through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section, you can pick between 5 separate safety levels – from very high to very low. If you keep receiving unsolicited bulk emails, you can increase the level, or if genuine messages are mistaken for spam, you can decrease it. Activating or deactivating the spam protection requires as little as 2 clicks and you can choose if the filtered emails should be erased straight away or if they should be re-sent to a designated email address where you can examine them at a later point in time, so as to ensure that valuable emails will not disappear.
