Most emails sent around the globe these days are spam, in other words – unwanted messages with various offers or with links to malicious software. Not only are such emails irritating, but they also present a threat to your own PC, not to mention that you may be conned. This is why, lots of email providers use email filters, which are apps that keep track of all incoming emails and filter out the undesirable ones on the basis of their content – what words an email contains and how often they’re cited, what website a particular hyperlink points to, what outbound SMTP mail server the email comes from, and so on. Certain providers also use the databases of spam-detecting organizations devoted to providing the most up-to-the-minute info about unasked-for messages, to make certain that their customers won’t get any email message in their mailbox that’s not supposed to be there.
Spam Filters in Web Hosting
If you get a web hosting plan from us and if you take advantage of our mail services, you will be able to enable spam filtering for any of the email accounts that you set up from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. With only a couple of clicks of the mouse, you can choose between 5 separate levels of protection. If you start receiving spam, you can begin with the lowest one and then gradually increase the level till you stop receiving spam. We make use of one of the best and most popular spam filters available on the market called SpamAssassin. It ‘scans’ the header field and the body of each and every email message that you get and determines a spam score, based on which it either deletes a specific email or allows it to enter your inbox. Hepsia will also allow you to activate custom email filters and either delete undesirable emails or re-send them to a third-party email address like spam@domain.com where you can view them once more afterwards.
Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our semi-dedicated server packages come with top-of-the-line spam protection ensured by the famous SpamAssassin filter, which rates all incoming emails based on a spam score in accordance with parameters and patterns, such as the recurrence of specific keywords, the sender, the subject, etc. When you activate the filter for any account via the Hepsia Control Panel’s Email Manager section, you can choose between 5 different levels – from very low to very high. If you keep getting spam emails, you can raise the level, or if legitimate emails are mistaken for spam, you can lower it. Enabling or disabling the anti-spam protection requires as little as 2 mouse clicks and you can choose if the filtered email messages should be erased immediately or if they should be re-sent to a designated email address where you can check them at a later point in time, so as to ensure that valuable messages will not disappear.
