An email filter is a software application that impedes unsolicited messages from reaching a given mailbox. An enormous percentage of the email traffic around the world involves spam email messages: offers for pills or cash, fraudulent bank notifications, etc. Because of this, it’s quite important to use filters to avoid not only unsolicited bulk messages, but also any chance of being scammed somehow. Filters detect various things, so as to provide better protection – particular words or the frequency with which they appear in the text, the sender’s email address, or the IP address of the sender’s mail server. Web hosts often resort to the services of third-party spam-tracking organizations that provide up-to-date databases to make email filtering better and simpler without affecting authentic email messages, even if they comprise suspicious words or phrases.

Spam Filters in Shared Website Hosting

In case you decide to host your domains with our company and you select any of our shared website hosting plans, you will be able to set up spam filtering for any email address that you set up. With a few clicks in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel, you can switch between 5 different levels of security. If you continue to receive unsolicited bulk email messages or the email filters start preventing legitimate emails from entering your mailbox, you can switch to some other level just as easily. The quality of our spam protection service is ensured by one of the most widely used email filters – SpamAssassin. If you do not want to risk omitting a legitimate email message that may be blocked as spam because of its content, you can also create custom filters based on the sender, the body or the subject of the email message and forward the emails to a different email account where you can read them at a later point in time.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you use one of our semi-dedicated servers, you will not need to worry about junk emails stuffing your mailboxes all the time, as you can make use of the famous SpamAssassin anti-spam filter that we offer with each semi-dedicated server account. Our custom-created Hepsia hosting Control Panel will allow you to enable the filter for any email account with a few mouse clicks and you can select one of the five protection levels – from very low to very high. The level can be altered at any time if, for example, genuine email messages get filtered, or if unsolicited bulk emails go through and appear in your Inbox folder. To be on the safe side, you can choose all filtered emails to be forwarded to a special email account such as [email protected] and not to be erased. In this way, you can check them from time to time to make certain that you have not missed a genuine email message.
