An email filter is an application that hinders undesired emails from entering a particular mailbox. A significant percentage of the email correspondence around the globe involves spam emails: offers for pills or money, sham banking notifications, etc. That is why, it’s pretty important to enable filters in order to avoid not only spam messages, but also any chance of being swindled somehow. Filters detect various things, so as to deliver better security – specific words and phrases or the frequency with which they appear in the text, the sender’s email address, or the IP of the sender’s SMTP email server. Web hosting providers often use the services of 3rd-party spam-monitoring organizations that offer up-to-date databases in order to make spam filtering simpler and more effective without affecting legitimate emails, even if they include suspicious words.

Spam Filters in Cloud Hosting

Our cloud hosting servers rely on one of the best anti-spam filters available. It is called SpamAssassin and is available with each web hosting package, so in case you host your domains with our company, you can opt for one of the five levels of safety that the filter offers for any mailbox that you’ve got here. You can do this with only two mouse clicks from the Email Manager section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel that is used to manage all cloud web hosting accounts. SpamAssassin ‘scans’ the header and the body of every email, calculates a spam score and then continues according to the level that you have opted for. Each mailbox can have a different level and you can choose whether the messages that the anti-spam filter flags as spam should be erased or redirected to a separate email account where you can review them at a later point in time, so as to avoid deleting a genuine email. Switching to some other level or deactivating the anti-spam protection is also pretty easy.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you decide to use the email service that comes with our Linux semi-dedicated servers, you can keep all undesirable messages away from your mailbox by activating the 5-level spam protection that we provide with each and every semi-dedicated hosting package. This can be accomplished via the feature-rich Email Manager section of the hosting Control Panel and we employ the powerful SpamAssassin email filter to ensure that we provide the best possible security for our customers. You can have a different level of protection for each mailbox and you can choose whether the filtered email messages should be deleted or delivered to a different mailbox where you can examine them at a later point in time in order to make sure that you will not skip authentic emails. Switching to another level of protection or deactivating the protection is also easy and requires a couple of mouse clicks.
