An email filter is an application that obstructs undesirable email messages from entering a particular mailbox. A substantial percentage of the email traffic around the world consists of spam email messages: offers for pills or money, forged banking notifications, and so on. For this reason, it’s quite important to use email filters to avoid not only spam email messages, but also any chance of being ripped off in some way. Filters detect different things, so as to provide higher levels of safety – certain words and phrases or the frequency with which they surface in the text, the sender’s address, or the IP of the sender’s outgoing server. Web hosting companies often use the services of 3rd-party spam-tracking organizations that provide up-to-the-minute databases to render email filtering simpler and more effective without affecting authentic emails, even if they include suspicious words.

Spam Filters in Shared Website Hosting

The security of any email account that you create under a shared website hosting account with our company is guaranteed by the advanced SpamAssassin email filter that we use. You can activate it via the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel and it offers 5 protection levels based on the spam score it gives to each email depending on various parameters, such as the recurrence of given words, the sender, and so on. If you keep receiving unsolicited bulk email messages, you can always increase the level or if you are afraid that you may skip an authentic email, you can combine the automatic filter with a custom one and forward all email messages from a certain sender to some other email address. In case you reach the decision that you no longer want anti-spam protection for a particular mailbox, you can deactivate it with just several clicks of the mouse.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated server accounts come with exceptional spam protection guaranteed by the popular SpamAssassin spam filter, which ranks all incoming email messages based on a spam score in accordance with parameters and patterns, such as the frequency of certain keywords and phrases, the sender, the subject, etc. When you enable the filter for any email account via the Hepsia Control Panel’s Email Manager section, you can pick between 5 different levels of security – from very high to very low. If you still get unsolicited bulk messages, you can increase the level, or if authentic email messages are tagged as spam, you can lower it. Enabling or disabling the anti-spam protection takes as little as 2 clicks and you can choose if the filtered emails should be erased right away or if they should be delivered to a chosen email address where you can read them at a later point in time, so as to ensure that valuable emails won’t disappear.
