Most emails sent around the world nowadays are spam, in other words – unwanted messages with various offers or with links to malicious software. Not only are such email messages annoying, but they also pose a risk to your own personal computer, not to mention that you may be tricked. For this reason, lots of mail service providers make use of email filters, which are software applications that keep track of all inbound emails and filter out the undesired ones based on their content – what words an email message contains and how many times they are referred to, what website a specific hyperlink points to, what outgoing SMTP email server the email comes from, and so on. Some hosting providers also use the databases of spam-detecting organizations dedicated to providing the most up-to-the-minute info about unwelcome messages, to ensure that their customers will not get any message in their mailbox that’s not supposed to be there.

Spam Filters in Shared Hosting

The safety of any mailbox that you create under a shared hosting account with our company is guaranteed by the advanced SpamAssassin email filter that we use. You can enable it via the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and it offers 5 levels of security based on the spam score given to every email message depending on various criteria, such as the recurrence of certain words, the sender, etc. If you keep getting spam, you can always increase the level or if you are afraid that you may miss an authentic email, you can mix the automated filter with a custom one and redirect all emails from a given sender to a different mailbox. In case you reach the decision that you no longer need a spam filter for a given mailbox, you can disable it with only a few clicks.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you order a semi-dedicated server package from our company and if you set up one or more mailboxes with any of the domains hosted in the account, you will be able to enable the powerful, 5-level SpamAssassin email filter that we provide and keep all unwelcome emails away from your inbox. This feature is accessible through the Email Manager section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and it can be activated or deactivated for any mailbox whenever you want. You can also adjust the level of safety with a few mouse clicks if spam email messages still reach your mailbox or the filter starts erasing legitimate emails. As you can select if the spam should be erased momentarily or forwarded to another mailbox, you can set up spam@domain.com, for instance, and view all filtered emails there, so as to make certain that you will not miss an email that you need. The email messages that the spam filter allows to proceed will still appear in your mailbox.
