Most emails sent around the world these days are spam, i.e. unwanted messages with various offers or with links to malware. Not only are such emails annoying, but they also pose a threat to your computer, not to mention that you may be conned. That’s the reason why a lot of mail service providers use email filters, which are applications that ‘scan’ all incoming messages and filter out the unwanted ones on the basis of their content – what words an email message contains and how many times they’re mentioned, what web site a particular link points to, what SMTP email server the email message comes from, and so on. Some hosting providers also rely on the databases of spam-detecting organizations dedicated to providing the most up-to-the-minute information about unwelcome emails, to make certain that their customers won’t receive any email message in their mailbox that shouldn’t be there.

Spam Filters in Web Hosting

Our web hosting servers employ one of the best spam filters available on the market. It is called SpamAssassin and is included with each web hosting package, so if you host your domains with our company, you can choose one of the five protection levels that the anti-spam filter offers for any mailbox that you’ve got here. You can accomplish this with only two mouse clicks from the Email Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel that’s used to manage all shared web hosting accounts. SpamAssassin examines the header section and the body of each and every email message, gives it a spam score and then continues based on the level that you’ve opted for. Every email account can have a different setting and you can select if the messages that the spam filter flags as spam should be erased or delivered to some other mailbox where you can read them later, so as to prevent erasing a legitimate email message. Switching to a different level or deactivating the spam protection is also incredibly easy.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you decide to make use of the mail service that comes with our Linux semi-dedicated hosting, you can keep all undesired messages away from your mailbox by activating the five-level anti-spam protection that we provide with every semi-dedicated plan. This can be achieved through the feature-stuffed Email Manager section of the Control Panel and we employ the powerful SpamAssassin filter to make sure that we provide the very best possible security for our customers. You can have a different protection level for each mailbox and you can select whether the filtered email messages should be erased or redirected to a different mailbox where you can check them at a later point in time so as to ensure that you will not omit authentic messages. Switching to another level of protection or deactivating the anti-spam protection is also easy and requires several clicks.
