Spam Filters
What precisely is an e-mail spam filter? How does one work? How can you activate spam filtering?
Most email messages sent around the world these days are spam, i.e. undesirable messages with various offers or with hyperlinks to malware. Not only are such emails annoying, but they also pose a threat to your computer, not to mention that you may be scammed. This is the reason why lots of email service providers resort to email filters, which are applications that monitor all inbound messages and filter out the undesirable ones based on their content – what words or phrases an email includes and how often they’re cited, what website a particular link leads to, what outgoing server the email is sent from, etc. Certain web hosting providers also use the databases of spam-detecting organizations devoted to the provision of the most up-to-date info about unwelcome email messages, to make certain that their customers will not receive any message in their mailbox that should not be there.

Spam Filters in Shared Website Hosting
In case you reach the decision to host your domains with us and you select any of our
shared website hosting plans, you’ll be able to set up spam filtering for any mailbox that you set up. With several clicks of the mouse in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel, you can switch between five separate levels of security. In case you still receive junk email messages or the email filters start preventing genuine email messages from reaching your inbox, you can switch to some other level just as easily. The quality of our spam protection solution is ensured by one of the most popular spam filters – SpamAssassin. If you don’t want to risk omitting an authentic email message that may be mistaken for spam due to its content, you can also create custom spam filters based on the body, the subject or the sender of the email message and re-send the emails to a separate email address where you can view them at a later point in time.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you get a
semi-dedicated server package from our company and if you create one or more mailboxes with any of the domain names hosted in the account, you’ll be able to enable the powerful, 5-level SpamAssassin spam filter that we provide and keep all undesirable messages out of your mailbox. This option is accessible through the Hepsia Control Panel’s Email Manager section and it can be activated or deactivated for any mailbox at any time. You can also tweak the security level with a few clicks if spam email messages continue to enter your inbox or the email filter starts removing authentic messages. Since you can select if the spam should be deleted momentarily or re-sent to a separate email account, you can set up spam@domain.com, for instance, and view all filtered email messages there, so as to make sure that you won’t miss a message that you need. The email messages that the spam filter allows to go through will still be received in your mailbox.
