Most of the email messages sent around the world nowadays are spam, i.e. unwanted messages with different offers or with links to malware. Not only are such email messages annoying, but they also pose a threat to your own computer, not to mention that you may get conned. Because of this, plenty of email service providers make use of spam filters, which are software applications that keep track of all inbound emails and filter the undesired ones based on their content – what words or phrases an email message includes and how many times they are referred to, what website a given hyperlink opens, what outbound SMTP email server the email message comes from, etc. Certain hosting providers also rely on the databases of spam-tracing organizations dedicated to providing the most up-to-date information about unasked-for email messages, to make certain that their customers won’t receive any email in their mailbox that’s not supposed to be there.

Spam Filters in Shared Website Hosting

If you order a shared website hosting package from us and if you use our email services, you will be able to set up anti-spam protection for any of the mailboxes that you create from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel. With no more than a couple of clicks of the mouse, you can pick between five different levels of protection. In case you start receiving spam, you can start with the lowest level and then slowly increase the level till you stop receiving spam. We rely on one of the very best and most popular filters available on the market called SpamAssassin. It ‘scans’ the header section and the body of each and every email message that you receive and determines a spam score, based on which it either erases a given message or permits it to reach your mailbox. The Hepsia Control Panel will also permit you to create custom filters and either get rid of unwelcome email messages or re-send them to a third-party address such as spam@domain.com where you can check them once more after that.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server accounts come with top-notch spam protection guaranteed by the popular SpamAssassin filter, which classifies all inbound emails based on a spam score that depends on parameters and patterns, such as the frequency of specific keywords and phrases, the sender, the subject, etc. When you enable the filter for any email account via the Hepsia Control Panel’s Email Manager section, you can select between five different protection levels – from very low to very high. If you keep receiving unsolicited bulk email messages, you can increase the level, or if genuine email messages are labeled as spam, you can decrease it. Activating or deactivating the anti-spam protection takes as little as two clicks and you can choose if the filtered email messages should be erased instantaneously or if they should be forwarded to a chosen email account where you can read them later, so as to ensure that important emails will not disappear.
