Spam Filters
Get familiar with e-mail spam filters, the things they do and how you can activate them.
An email filter is a software app that’s installed on an email server and monitors all inbound messages so as to block any undesirable ones from reaching a given inbox. Several examples of such emails would be: offers for pills or money, fake banking notifications or attachments that contain malware sent with the intention of infecting your computer. Email filters normally ‘scan’ the content of an email and when they detect particular keywords or other dubious content, they either delete the message or redirect it to the Spam/Junk folder instead of the Inbox folder. Certain web hosting companies mix their own spam filters with up-to-date databases from spam-tracing organizations, so as to guarantee better security for their clients. Such databases include patterns, email server IPs and other information about spam messages recently detected by these organizations.

Spam Filters in Shared Hosting
In case you decide to host your domain names with us and you choose any of our
Linux shared hosting services, you’ll be able to activate spam filters for any email account that you set up.

If you continue to get junk emails or the spam filters start preventing authentic email messages from entering your inbox, you can change the level just as easily. The efficiency of our spam detection service is guaranteed by one of the most famous filters – SpamAssassin. In case you do not want to risk omitting a legitimate email message that may be regarded as spam owing to its content, you can also configure custom spam filters based on the sender, the body or the subject of the message and forward the emails to another email account where you can review them at a later time.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our
semi-dedicated server accounts provide excellent spam protection guaranteed by the famous SpamAssassin anti-spam filter, which sorts all incoming emails based on a spam score that depends on parameters and patterns, such as the recurrence of specific keywords, the sender, the subject, etc. When you enable the filter for any mailbox via the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you can choose between five separate levels of protection – from very high to very low. If you continue to get unsolicited bulk email messages, you can raise the level, or if authentic messages are blocked as spam, you can decrease it. Activating or deactivating the spam protection requires as little as two clicks and you can choose if the filtered email messages should be erased straight away or if they should be re-sent to a chosen email address where you can check them at a later point in time, so as to make certain that the email messages that you need won’t get lost.
