A spam filter is a piece of software that is installed on a mail server and monitors all incoming messages to obstruct any unasked-for ones from entering a certain inbox. Several examples of such email messages would be: offers for pills or money, false banking notices or attachments that contain malicious code sent with the idea of damaging your computer. Email filters normally check the content of an email and when they spot particular keywords or other suspicious content, they either delete the email message or redirect it to the Spam/Junk folder instead of the Inbox folder. Some hosting companies mix their own email filters with up-to-the-minute databases from spam-tracing organizations, so as to ensure higher levels of safety for their clients. Such databases contain patterns, email server IPs and other information about spam emails recently uncovered by these organizations.

Spam Filters in Shared Hosting

Our shared hosting servers use one of the very best spam filters available. It is called SpamAssassin and is included with each and every cloud hosting package, so if you host your domain names with our company, you can select one of the five levels of security that the spam filter offers for any email account that you’ve got here. You can do this with just 2 clicks from the Email Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel that is used to manage all cloud hosting accounts. SpamAssassin examines the header section and the body of each and every email message, gives it a spam score and then continues based on the level that you’ve picked. Every mailbox can have a different level and you can select if the messages that the filter labels as spam should be erased or delivered to another mailbox where you can view them at a later time, so as to prevent deleting a legitimate message. Switching to a different level or disabling the anti-spam protection is also pretty easy.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you decide to use the email service that is offered with our Linux semi-dedicated hosting, you can keep all undesirable emails away from your inbox by enabling the 5-level spam protection service that we offer with every semi-dedicated package. This can be accomplished via the fully featured Email Manager section of the Control Panel and we use the advanced SpamAssassin filter to make sure that we offer the best possible protection for our clients. You can have a different anti-spam level for each mailbox and you can select if the filtered emails should be deleted or re-sent to some other mailbox where you can check them later in order to ensure that you are not losing authentic emails. Switching to some other level of protection or deactivating the anti-spam protection is also easy and takes a few mouse clicks.
