Most of the email messages sent around the world nowadays are spam, in other words – unwanted messages with various offers or with hyperlinks to malware. Not only are such email messages annoying, but they also present a threat to your own personal computer, not to mention that you may be conned. That’s why, plenty of email providers use spam filters, which are software apps that keep track of all incoming emails and filter the unwanted ones based on their content – what words or phrases an email contains and how often they are mentioned, what web site a given hyperlink leads to, what SMTP mail server the email message is sent from, and so on. Some web hosts also use the databases of spam-tracing organizations dedicated to the provision of the most up-to-the-minute info about unwelcome emails, to ensure that their clients won’t get any email in their mailbox that is not supposed to be there.

Spam Filters in Cloud Hosting

The protection of any mailbox that you set up in a cloud hosting account with us is guaranteed by the powerful SpamAssassin filter that we use. You can activate it via the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel and it offers five safety levels based on the spam score it gives to every message in accordance with various criteria, such as the frequency of given words, the sender, and so on. If you keep getting spam emails, you can always raise the level or if you are afraid that you may skip a legitimate email message, you can mix the automated email filter with a custom one and forward all messages from a given sender to a different email address. If you decide that you no longer require a spam filter for a specific mailbox, you can deactivate it with just a couple of clicks.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you use one of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting plans, you will not need to worry about junk messages occupying your mailboxes all the time, as you can resort to the famous SpamAssassin email filter that we offer with each semi-dedicated hosting account. Our custom-developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel will allow you to activate the filter for any mailbox with a few clicks and you can choose any of the 5 levels of security – from very high to very low. The level can be changed at any time if, for example, authentic emails get filtered, or if unsolicited bulk emails go through and appear in your Inbox folder. To take no chances, you can choose all filtered emails to be forwarded to a special mailbox such as spam@your-domain.com and not to be deleted. Thus, you can go through them from time to time to make certain that you have not missed an authentic message.
