Most of the email messages sent around the world nowadays are spam, i.e. unrequested messages with different offers or with links to malicious software. Not only are such emails aggravating, but they also pose a threat to your own PC, not to mention that you may be scammed. This is the reason why many email providers rely on spam filters, which are apps that keep track of all inbound messages and filter out the unwanted ones based on their content – what words an email message includes and how often they are referred to, what site a certain hyperlink points to, what outgoing mail server the message comes from, and so on. Some companies also use the databases of spam-monitoring organizations devoted to providing the most up-to-the-minute info about unwanted email messages, to make certain that their clients won’t get any email in their mailbox that’s not supposed to be there.

Spam Filters in Web Hosting

In case you decide to host your domains with us and you select any of our Linux web hosting, you will be able to enable spam filters for any email account that you create. With a few clicks of the mouse in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel, you can switch between five separate levels of protection. In case you still get unsolicited bulk messages or the spam filters start preventing genuine messages from reaching your inbox, you can change the level just as easily. The efficiency of our spam filtering solution is ensured by one of the most popular email filters – SpamAssassin. If you don’t want to risk missing a legitimate email message that may be mistaken for spam because of its content, you can also create custom filters based on the body, the sender or the subject of the message and forward the emails to another email address where you can review them later.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you take advantage of one of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting, you will not need to worry about spam messages filling up your mailboxes every now and then, as you can make use of the popular SpamAssassin filter that we offer with each and every account. Our custom-created Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to activate the filter for any email account with several clicks and you can choose one of the five security levels – from very low to very high. The level can be altered at any time if, for instance, genuine messages get filtered, or if spam emails go through and reach your Inbox folder. To be on the safe side, you can choose all filtered emails to be re-sent to a special email account such as spam@your-domain.com and not to be deleted. In this way, you can check them every now and then to make sure that you haven’t missed out on a genuine message.
