An email filter is a software application that runs on an email server and keeps track of all incoming messages to block any undesirable ones from reaching a specific mailbox. Several examples of such email messages would be: offers for pills or cash, fake banking statements or email attachments that contain malware sent with the idea to damage your personal computer. Spam filters typically examine the content of an email and if they detect given keywords or other suspicious content, they either delete the message or deliver it to the Spam/Junk folder instead of the Inbox folder. Certain providers mix their own spam filters with up-to-date databases from spam-monitoring organizations, so as to guarantee better protection for their clients. Such databases include patterns, mail server IP addresses and other info about spam messages recently detected by these organizations.

Spam Filters in Shared Website Hosting

Our shared website hosting servers use one of the best anti-spam filters available. It’s called SpamAssassin and is included with every cloud web hosting plan, so if you host your domains with our company, you can opt for one of the five levels of protection that the anti-spam filter offers for any mailbox that you’ve got here. You can do this with just two mouse clicks from the Email Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel that is used to manage all cloud web hosting accounts. SpamAssassin examines the header section and the body of each message, calculates a spam score and then continues according to the level that you’ve picked. Each email account can have a different setting and you can select if the messages that the spam filter labels as spam should be erased or delivered to some other email address where you can read them at a later point in time, so as to avoid erasing a legitimate email message. Switching to some other level or deactivating the spam protection is also quite easy.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you reach the decision to make use of the mail service that is offered with our semi-dedicated hosting plans, you can keep all undesirable email messages out of your mailbox by enabling the 5-level anti-spam protection that we offer with each semi-dedicated server package. This can be achieved through the feature-rich Email Manager section of the Control Panel and we rely on the powerful SpamAssassin email filter to ensure that we provide the best possible protection for our clients. You can have a different protection level for each email account and you can select whether the filtered emails should be erased or redirected to another mailbox where you can review them later to ensure that you won’t skip legitimate email messages. Changing the protection level or deactivating the anti-spam protection is also easy and takes several clicks of the mouse.
