Most emails sent around the globe nowadays are spam, in other words – undesirable messages with different offers or with hyperlinks to malware. Not only are such email messages irritating, but they also present a risk to your personal computer, not to mention that you may be scammed. This is why, many email service providers use email filters, which are software applications that ‘scan’ all incoming messages and filter out the undesirable ones on the basis of their content – what words an email contains and how often they’re referred to, what website a certain hyperlink opens, what mail server the email is sent from, and so on. Some companies also rely on the databases of spam-monitoring organizations devoted to the provision of the most up-to-the-minute information about unwelcome messages, to ensure that their customers will not get any email in their mailbox that’s not supposed to be there.

Spam Filters in Web Hosting

In case you decide to host your domain names with us and you choose any of our web hosting plans, you will be able to activate anti-spam protection for any email address that you create. With several clicks of the mouse in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel, you can configure five separate security levels. In case you still get junk emails or the filters start preventing genuine emails from reaching your inbox, you can change the level just as easily. The efficiency of our spam protection service is guaranteed by one of the most popular spam filters – SpamAssassin. If you do not want to risk missing a legitimate message that may be considered as spam because of its content, you can also set up custom filters based on the sender, the subject or the body of the email message and re-send the emails to another email account where you can check them at a later time.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you use one of our semi-dedicated hosting plans, you will not need to worry about unsolicited bulk emails filling up your mailboxes every once in a while, as you can take advantage of the famous SpamAssassin email filter that we provide with each account. Our in-house developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel will permit you to enable the filter for any email account with a few clicks and you can select one of the 5 levels of security – from very low to very high. The level can be altered at any moment if, for example, authentic email messages get filtered, or if spam messages go through and reach your inbox. To take no chances, you can choose all filtered messages to be re-sent to a special email account like spam@your-domain.com and not to be erased. Thus, you can check them every now and then to ensure that you haven’t omitted an authentic email.
