A spam filter is a software app that obstructs undesired email messages from entering a particular mailbox. A significant percentage of the email communication around the globe consists of spam email messages: offers for pills or money, fake banking notifications, etc. That’s why, it is really important to use email filters to avoid not only spam email messages, but also any chance of being conned somehow. Email filters detect various things, so as to ensure higher levels of protection – specific 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 SMTP mail server. Hosting providers frequently rely on the services of third-party spam-detecting organizations that provide up-to-the-minute databases to make spam filtering simpler and more efficient without affecting legitimate messages, even if they include suspicious words.
Spam Filters in Shared Web Hosting
Our shared web hosting servers rely on one of the best anti-spam filters available on the market. It’s called SpamAssassin and is included with every shared hosting plan, so if you host your domain names with us, you can choose one of the five security levels that the anti-spam filter offers for any email account that you’ve got here. You can accomplish this with just 2 clicks of the mouse from the Email Manager section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel that’s used to manage all shared web hosting accounts. SpamAssassin examines the header and the content of each email message, gives it a spam score and then proceeds on the basis of the level that you’ve chosen. Every email account can have a different level and you can choose if the email messages that the anti-spam filter marks as spam should be erased or redirected to a separate email account where you can review them at a later time, so as to prevent deleting an authentic email. Switching to another level or deactivating the anti-spam protection is also pretty easy.
Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you use a semi-dedicated server package from our company and if you set up one or more email addresses with any of the domains hosted under the account, you’ll be able to activate the powerful, 5-level SpamAssassin spam filter that we provide and keep all unwanted email messages away from your mailbox. This service is accessible through the Email Manager section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and it can be activated or deactivated for any email account whenever you wish. You can also alter the protection level with several clicks of the mouse if spam emails continue to enter your mailbox or the filter starts deleting legitimate email messages. Since you can select whether the spam should be deleted immediately or delivered to a different email account, you can set up spam@domain.com, for instance, and view all filtered emails there, so as to ensure that you will not omit a message that you need. The email messages that the email filter permits to proceed will still appear in your inbox.
