Most email messages sent around the world nowadays are spam, in other words – undesired messages with different offers or with links to malicious software. Not only are such emails aggravating, but they also present a threat to your personal computer, not to mention that you may get ripped off. This is why, lots of mail service providers make use of spam filters, which are software apps that monitor all inbound email messages and filter out the unwanted ones based on their content – what words an email consists of and how many times they are referred to, what website a specific hyperlink opens, what outbound SMTP email server the message comes from, and so on. Some providers also rely on the databases of spam-detecting organizations dedicated to providing the most up-to-the-minute info about undesired messages, to make certain that their customers won’t get any email in their inbox that should not be there.

Spam Filters in Cloud Hosting

Our cloud hosting servers employ one of the very best anti-spam filters available. It’s called SpamAssassin and is available with each shared hosting plan, so in case you host your domains with our company, you can opt for one of the five protection levels that the anti-spam filter offers for any email account that you’ve got here. You can do this with just 2 clicks of the mouse from the Email Manager section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel that is used to manage all hosting accounts. SpamAssassin ‘scans’ the header field and the content of each and every message, calculates a spam score and then proceeds in accordance with the level that you’ve picked. Each mailbox can have a different setting and you can choose if the email messages that the spam filter reports as spam should be deleted or delivered to another email address where you can review them later, so as to prevent erasing an authentic email. Switching to a different level or deactivating the anti-spam protection is also surprisingly easy.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you take advantage of one of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting, you will not need to worry about unsolicited bulk emails clogging your mailboxes all the time, as you can make use of the popular SpamAssassin email filter that we offer with each semi-dedicated server account. Our custom-built Hepsia hosting Control Panel will permit you to enable the filter for any mailbox with several mouse clicks and you can select any of the five safety levels – from very high to very low. The level can be altered at any time if, for example, genuine emails get blocked, or if spam email messages go through and reach your inbox. To take no chances, you can choose all filtered emails to be forwarded to a special mailbox such as spam@your-domain.com and not to be erased. Thus, you can go through them from time to time to ensure that you have not missed out on a legitimate message.
