Most emails sent around the globe these days are spam, in other words – undesirable messages with different offers or with links to malware. Not only are such email messages annoying, but they also pose a risk to your PC, not to mention that you may get duped. For this reason, lots of mail service providers rely on spam filters, which are software applications that ‘scan’ all incoming email messages and filter the undesired ones based on their content – what words an email includes and how many times they are cited, what site a specific hyperlink points to, what SMTP email server the message comes from, and so on. Certain web hosting companies also use the databases of spam-detecting organizations devoted to providing the most up-to-date info about unasked-for email messages, to make sure that their clients will not receive any email in their mailbox that is not supposed to be there.

Spam Filters in Cloud Hosting

If you order a cloud hosting plan from us and if you make use of our email services, you’ll be able to enable anti-spam protection for any of the mailboxes that you create from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. With no more than a few clicks, you can select between five separate levels of protection. In case you start receiving spam, you can start with the lowest level and then gradually increase the level until you stop getting spam. We rely on one of the very best and most famous filters available called SpamAssassin. It analyzes the header section and the body of every message that you get and calculates a spam score, based on which it either deletes a given email message or permits it to enter your mailbox. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel will also allow you to configure custom spam filters and either delete unasked-for emails or redirect them to a third-party address such as spam@domain.com where you can read them once more at a later time.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you take advantage of one of our semi-dedicated servers, you will not need to worry about junk messages filling up your mailboxes every now and then, as you can resort to the popular SpamAssassin anti-spam filter that we provide with each and every semi-dedicated account. Our custom-built Hepsia hosting Control Panel will allow you to enable the filter for any email account with a few clicks of the mouse and you can choose any of the five levels of security – from very low to very high. The level can be altered at any moment if, for example, authentic emails get filtered, or if junk email messages go through and reach your Inbox folder. To take no chances, you can choose all filtered messages to be re-sent to a special email account such as spam@your-domain.com and not to be deleted. Thus, you can check them from time to time to make certain that you haven’t omitted an authentic email.
