Most emails sent around the globe nowadays are spam, i.e. unsolicited messages with different offers or with links to malicious software. Not only are such emails irritating, but they also pose a threat to your computer, not to mention that you may be conned. This is why, numerous mail service providers use email filters, which are software apps that monitor all incoming emails and filter out the undesirable ones based on their content – what words or phrases an email consists of and how often they’re referred to, what website a specific hyperlink leads to, what outbound SMTP email server the email comes from, etc. Some web hosting providers also make use of the databases of spam-detecting organizations dedicated to providing the most up-to-date info about undesired messages, to make sure that their clients will not receive any message in their mailbox that should not be there.
Spam Filters in Shared Website Hosting
In case you decide to host your domains with our company and you pick any of our shared website hosting plans, you will be able to set up anti-spam protection for any mailbox that you set up. With a couple of clicks of the mouse in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel, you can configure 5 different safety levels. In case you still receive spam messages or the spam filters start preventing authentic email messages from reaching your mailbox, you can switch to a different level just as easily. The efficiency of our spam detection service is guaranteed by one of the most widely used filters – SpamAssassin. In case you don’t want to risk missing a genuine email message that may be considered as spam because of its content, you can also configure custom email filters based on the sender, the subject or the body of the email message and redirect the emails to some other email address where you can review them at a later time.
Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you use a semi-dedicated server plan from our company and if you create one or more mailboxes with any of the domain names hosted under the account, you’ll be able to enable the advanced, five-level SpamAssassin anti-spam filter that we offer and keep all undesired emails out of your inbox. This functionality is accessible through the Email Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel and it can be activated or deactivated for any mailbox at any time. You can also adjust the level of safety with a couple of clicks in case junk messages still reach your mailbox or the email filter begins erasing authentic messages. As you can choose if the spam should be deleted instantaneously or delivered to a different mailbox, you can create spam@domain.com, for example, and check all filtered messages there, so as to make certain that you will not omit a message that you need. The emails that the email filter permits to go through will still be delivered to your mailbox.
