Most email messages sent around the globe these days are spam, i.e. undesirable messages with different offers or with links to malicious software. Not only are such emails aggravating, but they also present a threat to your personal computer, not to mention that you may be duped. That is the reason why lots of email service providers rely on spam filters, which are software applications that ‘scan’ all incoming email messages and filter the undesired ones on the basis of their content – what words or phrases an email consists of and how many times they are referred to, what web site a specific hyperlink opens, what outgoing SMTP server the message comes from, etc. Certain companies also make use of the databases of spam-detecting organizations dedicated to providing the most up-to-the-minute info about undesirable messages, to ensure that their clients won’t get any email in their inbox that shouldn’t be there.

Spam Filters in Website Hosting

The safety of any email account that you set up in a website hosting account with us is ensured by the powerful SpamAssassin email filter that we employ. You can enable it through the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and it comes with 5 safety levels based on the spam score it gives to each email depending on various parameters, such as the frequency of specific words and phrases, the sender, etc. If you keep receiving spam, you can always increase the level or if you’re afraid that you may miss a genuine email, you can combine the automatic spam filter with a custom one and redirect all emails from a given sender to some other email account. In case you decide that you no longer want an email filter for a particular mailbox, you can disable it with just a few mouse clicks.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you get a semi-dedicated server package from our company and if you set up one or more email addresses with any of the domains hosted in the account, you will be able to activate the advanced, 5-level SpamAssassin spam filter that we offer and keep all unwanted email messages out of your mailbox. This option is accessible through the Email Manager section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and it can be enabled or disabled for any email account whenever you wish. You can also tweak the protection level with a few clicks of the mouse if unsolicited bulk messages still appear in your mailbox or the spam filter begins erasing legitimate emails. Since you can choose if the spam should be deleted momentarily or redirected to a different mailbox, you can set up spam@domain.com, for instance, and check all filtered email messages there, so as to make certain that you will not omit a message that you need. The messages that the anti-spam filter allows to go through will still appear in your inbox.
