Spam Filters
Find out more on spam filters - exactly what they are, the way they work and how to create one.
Most of the emails sent around the globe nowadays are spam, in other words – unwanted messages with various offers or with links to malware. Not only are such email messages aggravating, but they also present a threat to your own computer, not to mention that you may get scammed. This is the reason why many email service providers use email filters, which are apps that ‘scan’ all inbound messages and filter out the undesired ones based on their content – what words or phrases an email message includes and how often they’re cited, what site a given link redirects to, what outbound SMTP server the email message is sent from, etc. Certain companies also rely on the databases of spam-monitoring organizations devoted to providing the most up-to-date info about unsolicited email messages, to ensure that their customers won’t get any email in their mailbox that’s not supposed to be there.

Spam Filters in Cloud Hosting
In case you decide to host your domain names with us and you select any of our
Linux cloud hosting plans, you will be able to activate anti-spam protection for any mailbox that you create. With a few clicks of the mouse in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel, you can set up 5 separate protection levels. In case you continue to receive spam or the filters start preventing genuine messages from entering your mailbox, you can change the level just as easily. The quality of our spam detection solution is ensured by one of the most widely used spam filters – SpamAssassin. In case you don’t want to risk skipping a legitimate message that may be blocked as spam because of its content, you can also set up custom filters based on the sender, the subject or the body of the message and re-send the emails to a separate email address where you can review them at a later time.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you order a
semi-dedicated server plan from our company and if you create one or more mailboxes with any of the domains hosted under your account, you’ll be able to enable the powerful, five-level SpamAssassin filter that we provide and keep all undesired email messages out of your mailbox. This service is accessible through the Email Manager section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and it can be enabled or disabled for any mailbox whenever you want. You can also change the protection level with several clicks of the mouse if junk messages still appear in your mailbox or the email filter starts erasing genuine email messages. As you can select whether the spam should be erased momentarily or re-sent to another email address, you can set up spam@domain.com, for instance, and check all filtered email messages there, so as to make certain that you won’t miss an email that you need. The messages that the spam filter permits to proceed will still be received in your mailbox.
