A spam filter is an application that blocks unsolicited email messages from entering a given mailbox. A huge percentage of the email traffic around the world is composed of spam email messages: offers for pills or money, fraudulent bank notifications, etc. That’s why, it is rather important to use email filters in order to avoid not only spam messages, but also any possibility of being tricked somehow. Filters detect different things, so as to guarantee better security – particular words or the frequency with which they surface in the text, the sender’s address, or the IP address of the sender’s outgoing mail server. Hosting companies frequently rely on the services of third-party spam-tracking organizations that offer up-to-the-minute databases in order to render email filtering better and easier without affecting genuine email messages, even if they include suspicious words or phrases.
Spam Filters in Cloud Web Hosting
The security of any mailbox that you set up in a cloud web hosting account with us is ensured by the advanced SpamAssassin spam filter that we use. You can enable it via the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel and it comes with five levels of security based on the spam score it gives to each and every message depending on different criteria, such as the recurrence of given words, the sender, etc. If you keep receiving spam messages, you can always raise the level or if you are afraid that you may omit a genuine message, you can mix the automatic spam filter with a custom one and forward all messages from a particular sender to some other mailbox. If you decide that you no longer want a spam filter for a particular email account, you can disable it with only several mouse clicks.
Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our semi-dedicated server plans offer top-of-the-line spam protection ensured by the famous SpamAssassin filter, which sorts all inbound emails based on a spam score in accordance with patterns and parameters, such as the frequency of particular keywords and phrases, the subject, the sender, etc. When you enable the filter for any email account through the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel, you can pick between 5 separate safety levels – from very low to very high. If you continue to get spam, you can raise the level, or if genuine email messages are marked as spam, you can lower it. Enabling or disabling the spam protection takes as little as 2 clicks and you can choose if the filtered emails should be erased straight away or if they should be re-sent to a designated email account where you can review them later, so as to ensure that important messages will not disappear.
