A spam filter is a software application that hinders unwanted messages from reaching a particular mailbox. An immense percentage of the email correspondence around the globe is composed of spam messages: offers for pills or cash, sham banking notifications, etc. That is why, it is very important to use filters in order to avoid not only spam messages, but also any possibility of being duped somehow. Email filters detect different things, so as to guarantee higher levels of protection – particular words or the frequency with which they surface in the text, the sender’s email address, or the IP address of the sender’s outbound SMTP email server. Web hosts often resort to the services of 3rd-party spam-detecting organizations that provide up-to-date databases in order to make email filtering easier and more efficient without affecting authentic messages, even if they comprise suspicious words.
Spam Filters in Website Hosting
In case you reach the decision to host your domain names with us and you pick any of our website hosting packages, you’ll be able to set up spam filtering for any email account that you set up. With several mouse clicks in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you can set up five different security levels. In case you continue to get junk emails or the email filters start preventing legitimate email messages from reaching your mailbox, you can switch to another level just as easily. The efficiency of our spam filtering solution is guaranteed by one of the most popular filters – SpamAssassin. In case you do not want to risk missing a legitimate message that may be flagged as spam owing to its content, you can also set up custom spam filters based on the sender, the subject or the body of the message and forward the emails to a separate email account where you can review them at a later point in time.
Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you order a semi-dedicated server package from our company and if you create one or more email addresses with any of the domain names hosted in the account, you’ll be able to activate the advanced, 5-level SpamAssassin email filter that we provide and keep all undesired messages away from your mailbox. This service is accessible through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section and it can be activated or deactivated for any email account at any moment. You can also tweak the level of security with a few clicks if spam email messages still enter your mailbox or the email filter begins erasing genuine emails. As you can choose if the spam should be deleted instantaneously or redirected to a different email account, you can set up spam@domain.com, for instance, and check all filtered messages there, so as to make sure that you won’t miss a message that you need. The email messages that the filter allows to proceed will still be delivered to your inbox.
