An email filter is an application that hinders unsolicited messages from entering a particular mailbox. A significant percentage of the email traffic around the globe involves spam messages: offers for pills or money, fake banking notifications, etc. That’s why, it is very important to set up email filters to avoid not only unsolicited bulk emails, but also any possibility of being scammed somehow. Filters detect different things, so as to guarantee better safety – particular words and phrases or the frequency with which they occur in the text, the sender’s email address, or the IP of the sender’s outbound email server. Hosting providers often use the services of third-party spam-detecting organizations that offer up-to-date databases to render email filtering easier and more efficient without affecting genuine messages, even if they contain suspicious words.

Spam Filters in Hosting

If you get a hosting plan from our company and if you take advantage of our email services, you’ll be able to enable spam filtering for any of the mailboxes that you create from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel. With just several mouse clicks, you can choose between five different levels of safety. In case you start getting spam, you can start with the lowest level and then gradually increase the level until you stop getting spam. We make use of one of the very best and most popular filters available on the market called SpamAssassin. It analyzes the header section and the body of every message that you get and determines a spam score, based on which it either deletes a particular email or allows it to reach your inbox. Hepsia will also allow you to configure custom email filters and either get rid of undesired email messages or send them to a third-party email address like spam@domain.com where you can view them once more at a later time.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you get a semi-dedicated server plan from our company and if you set up one or more email accounts with any of the domain names hosted under your account, you will be able to activate the powerful, 5-level SpamAssassin email filter that we offer and keep all unwanted emails away from your inbox. This feature is accessible through the Email Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel and it can be activated or deactivated for any email account at any moment. You can also configure the protection level with several clicks if spam emails continue to appear in your inbox or the filter starts removing authentic email messages. As you can choose whether the spam should be erased instantly or redirected to a different email account, you can create spam@domain.com, for example, and check all filtered email messages there, so as to make sure that you won’t miss an email that you need. The messages that the filter allows to go through will still be delivered to your inbox.
