Spam Filters
Find out more on spam filters - just what they are, the way they work and how to set up one.
An email filter is an application that stops unsolicited emails from reaching a particular mailbox. An enormous percentage of the email traffic around the globe involves spam email messages: offers for pills or cash, fake bank notifications, and so on. That’s why, it is very important to enable email filters in order to avoid not only spam email messages, but also any chance of being duped in some way. Spam filters detect different things, so as to deliver higher levels of safety – particular words or the frequency with which they surface in the text, the sender’s email address, or the IP address of the sender’s outbound SMTP email server. Hosting companies often rely on the services of 3rd-party spam-tracing organizations that offer up-to-date databases to make email filtering simpler and more effective without affecting genuine email messages, even if they include suspicious words.

Spam Filters in Website Hosting
Our
website hosting servers rely on one of the best anti-spam filters available on the market. It is called SpamAssassin and is included with every hosting package, so in case you host your domains with us, you can choose one of the five protection levels that the spam filter offers for any mailbox that you have here. You can do this with just 2 clicks of the mouse from the Email Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel that’s used to manage all shared web hosting accounts. SpamAssassin checks the header section and the content of every message, calculates a spam score and then proceeds according to the level that you’ve chosen. Each mailbox can have a different level and you can select if the email messages that the filter classifies as spam should be erased or redirected to a different mailbox where you can view them at a later point in time, so as to avoid deleting an authentic email. Switching to a different level or deactivating the protection is also truly easy.
