Most of the emails sent around the globe these days are spam, in other words – unasked-for messages with different offers or with links to malware. Not only are such emails annoying, but they also present a risk to your own personal computer, not to mention that you may get conned. This is the reason why plenty of mail service providers make use of spam filters, which are software applications that keep track of all inbound emails and filter the unwanted ones on the basis of their content – what words or phrases an email contains and how many times they’re referred to, what site a particular hyperlink redirects to, what outbound SMTP mail server the email is sent from, etc. Some web hosting providers also rely on the databases of spam-detecting organizations dedicated to providing the most up-to-date information about unwelcome email messages, to make sure that their clients won’t get any email message in their mailbox that should not be there.

Spam Filters in Cloud Website Hosting

If you reach the decision to host your domain names with us and you choose any of our cloud website hosting plans, you’ll be able to set up spam filters for any email address that you create. With a few mouse clicks in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel, you can switch between 5 different levels of protection. In case you still get unsolicited bulk emails or the spam filters start preventing legitimate email messages from reaching your mailbox, you can switch to a different level just as easily. The efficiency of our spam filtering solution is guaranteed by one of the most widely used email filters – SpamAssassin. In case you do not want to risk skipping an authentic email message that may be flagged as spam due to its content, you can also create custom email filters based on the sender, the subject or the body of the message and forward the emails to a separate mailbox where you can read them later.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you use one of our semi-dedicated hosting plans, you will not have to worry about unsolicited bulk emails occupying your mailboxes all the time, as you can resort to the famous SpamAssassin spam filter that we offer with each semi-dedicated account. Our in-house developed Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to enable the filter for any email account with several clicks and you can pick one of the 5 protection levels – from very low to very high. The level can be altered at any time if, for example, authentic messages get blocked, or if spam messages go through and appear in your Inbox folder. To take no chances, you can choose all filtered email messages to be forwarded to a special mailbox like spam@your-domain.com and not to be erased. Thus, you can examine them every now and then to make certain that you haven’t omitted an authentic email message.
