Most email messages sent around the globe nowadays are spam, in other words – unasked-for messages with different offers or with hyperlinks to malicious software. Not only are such emails irritating, but they also present a risk to your computer, not to mention that you may get swindled. This is why, many mail service providers resort to email filters, which are software apps that monitor all incoming messages and filter the undesired ones on the basis of their content – what words or phrases an email message contains and how many times they’re mentioned, what website a particular link opens, what outgoing mail server the email is sent from, and so on. Certain web hosts also use the databases of spam-tracking organizations devoted to providing the most up-to-date information about unasked-for messages, to make sure that their customers will not get any email message in their inbox that should not be there.

Spam Filters in Shared Hosting

The protection of any email account that you set up under a shared hosting account with our company is guaranteed by the advanced SpamAssassin filter that we use. You can activate it through the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel and it offers 5 safety levels based on the spam score given to each and every email message depending on various criteria, such as the recurrence of particular words, the sender, etc. If you keep getting spam, you can always increase the level or if you are scared that you may skip a genuine message, you can mix the automatic email filter with a custom one and forward all email messages from a certain sender to another email account. If you decide that you no longer require anti-spam protection for a particular email account, you can disable it with just a couple of mouse clicks.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting

In case you use one of our Linux semi-dedicated packages, you won’t have to worry about unsolicited bulk emails filling up your mailboxes all the time, as you can take advantage of the famous SpamAssassin spam filter that we offer with every semi-dedicated hosting account. Our custom-built Hepsia hosting Control Panel will permit you to enable the filter for any mailbox with a few clicks and you can select one of the 5 safety levels – from very low to very high. The level can be altered at any time if, for instance, authentic email messages get filtered, or if unsolicited bulk messages go through and appear in your inbox. To take no chances, you can choose all filtered emails to be re-sent to a special mailbox like spam@your-domain.com and not to be erased. Thus, you can examine them every now and then to ensure that you haven’t missed out on a legitimate email message.
