Most email messages sent around the globe nowadays are spam, i.e. unwelcome messages with different offers or with hyperlinks to malware. Not only are such email messages irritating, but they also pose a risk to your own PC, not to mention that you may be scammed. This is why, many email providers use spam filters, which are applications that ‘scan’ all incoming messages and filter out the undesired ones on the basis of their content – what words or phrases an email contains and how many times they are referred to, what site a particular hyperlink redirects to, what SMTP email server the email is sent from, etc. Certain web hosting companies also make use of the databases of spam-detecting organizations dedicated to providing the most up-to-date info about unrequested messages, to make certain that their customers will not receive any message in their mailbox that shouldn’t be there.

Spam Filters in Cloud Hosting

The security of any email account that you set up under a cloud hosting account with our company is ensured by the advanced SpamAssassin filter that we employ. You can enable it through the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and it offers 5 safety levels based on the spam score given to each and every message in accordance with different parameters, such as the frequency of given words, the sender, etc. If you keep receiving unsolicited bulk email messages, you can always increase the level or if you are scared that you may omit a legitimate email, you can combine the automated email filter with a custom one and forward all emails from a particular sender to a different email address. In case you decide that you no longer require a spam filter for a given mailbox, you can disable it with only a couple of clicks of the mouse.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting

In case you use one of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages, you won’t need to worry about junk email messages cramming your mailboxes every now and then, as you can take advantage of the popular SpamAssassin anti-spam filter that we provide with each and every semi-dedicated hosting account. Our custom-developed Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to enable the filter for any mailbox with a few mouse clicks and you can select one of the 5 safety levels – from very high to very low. The level can be altered at any moment if, for example, genuine emails get blocked, or if junk emails go through and appear in your Inbox folder. To take no chances, you can choose all filtered messages to be redirected to a special mailbox such as spam@your-domain.com and not to be deleted. Thus, you can check them every now and then to make certain that you haven’t omitted a legitimate email message.
