An email filter is an app that blocks unwanted emails from reaching a given inbox. An immense percentage of the email traffic around the globe consists of spam messages: offers for pills or money, false banking notifications, etc. This is why, it is really important to set up filters to avoid not only spam email messages, but also any possibility of being conned somehow. Spam filters detect different things, so as to ensure higher levels of safety – specific words and phrases or the frequency with which they appear in the text, the sender’s email address, or the IP address of the sender’s email server. Web hosting companies frequently use the services of third-party spam-monitoring organizations that offer up-to-date databases to render spam filtering better and simpler without affecting authentic email messages, even if they include suspicious words or phrases.
Spam Filters in Website Hosting
If you reach the decision to host your domains with us and you pick any of our Linux website hosting, you will be able to enable anti-spam protection for any mailbox that you create. With several clicks of the mouse in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel, you can configure five different levels of security. In case you still receive spam email messages or the filters start preventing legitimate messages from reaching your inbox, you can switch to some other level just as easily. The efficiency of our spam protection solution is ensured by one of the most widely used filters – SpamAssassin. If you don’t want to risk missing a genuine message that may be regarded as spam owing to its content, you can also create custom spam filters based on the sender, the subject or the body of the message and re-send the emails to some other mailbox where you can examine them later.
Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated server accounts come with top-level anti-spam protection ensured by the famous SpamAssassin filter, which ranks all inbound email messages based on a spam score in accordance with patterns and parameters, such as the frequency of specific keywords and phrases, the subject, the sender, etc. When you activate the filter for any account through the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel, you can select between 5 separate levels – from very low to very high. If you continue to get unsolicited bulk messages, you can raise the level, or if genuine messages are blocked as spam, you can decrease it. Enabling or disabling the anti-spam protection takes as little as 2 clicks and you can select if the filtered emails should be deleted right away or if they should be re-sent to a designated email address where you can view them later, so as to ensure that the emails that you need won’t disappear.
