Most of the email messages sent around the globe nowadays are spam, in other words – undesirable messages with different offers or with hyperlinks to malicious software. Not only are such emails irritating, but they also present a threat to your PC, not to mention that you may get swindled. That is why, lots of email providers resort to spam filters, which are software applications that monitor all inbound messages and filter out the unwanted ones based on their content – what words or phrases an email includes and how often they’re referred to, what site a particular hyperlink opens, what SMTP mail server the email message is sent from, and so on. Certain providers also make use of the databases of spam-tracing organizations dedicated to providing the most up-to-the-minute info about unasked-for email messages, to make sure that their clients won’t get any message in their inbox that’s not supposed to be there.

Spam Filters in Cloud Web Hosting

Our cloud web hosting servers use one of the best anti-spam filters available on the market. It is called SpamAssassin and is available with every shared hosting plan, so if you host your domains with us, you can choose one of the 5 security levels that the filter offers for any mailbox that you have here. You can accomplish 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 checks the header field and the content of every email, calculates a spam score and then continues based on the level that you’ve opted for. Every email account can have a different setting and you can choose if the emails that the anti-spam filter reports as spam should be deleted or delivered to a separate email account where you can check them at a later point in time, so as to prevent erasing a genuine message. Changing the level or deactivating the protection is also rather easy.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated server plans offer top-class spam protection ensured by the popular SpamAssassin anti-spam filter, which classifies all incoming emails based on a spam score that depends on patterns and parameters, such as the recurrence of specific keywords, the subject, the sender, and so on. When you activate the filter for any account through the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you can choose between five different levels of protection – from very high to very low. If you still get unsolicited bulk email messages, you can increase the level, or if legitimate emails are classified as spam, you can lower it. Activating or deactivating the anti-spam protection takes as little as two mouse clicks and you can choose if the filtered email messages should be erased straight away or if they should be forwarded to a designated email address where you can check them later, so as to make sure that important messages will not get lost.
