Most email messages sent around the globe these days are spam, i.e. undesired messages with various 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 swindled. Because of this, many email providers use email filters, which are applications that ‘scan’ all incoming messages and filter out the unwanted ones based on their content – what words or phrases an email message includes and how many times they’re cited, what site a certain hyperlink leads to, what email server the email is sent from, etc. Some web hosting companies also rely on the databases of spam-tracing organizations devoted to providing the most up-to-date information about unrequested messages, to make certain that their clients won’t get any email message in their inbox that is not supposed to be there.

Spam Filters in Cloud Hosting

If you get a cloud hosting package from us and if you make use of our email services, you will be able to activate spam filters for any of the mailboxes that you set up from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. With no more than a couple of clicks of the mouse, you can pick between 5 separate levels of protection. If you start getting spam, you can start with the lowest level and then gradually raise the level until you stop receiving spam. We rely on one of the best and most popular email filters available on the market called SpamAssassin. It ‘scans’ the header and the body of each email that you receive and calculates a spam score, based on which it either erases a certain email or allows it to enter your mailbox. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel will also allow you to configure custom filters and either delete undesired emails or re-send them to a 3rd-party address like spam@domain.com where you can read them again later.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you use one of our semi-dedicated servers, you won’t have to worry about spam email messages clogging your mailboxes all the time, as you can make use of the famous SpamAssassin filter that we provide with each account. Our custom-created Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to activate the filter for any mailbox with a few clicks and you can pick one of the five levels of security – from very low to very high. The level can be altered at any moment if, for example, genuine email messages get blocked, or if junk messages go through and appear in your Inbox folder. To take no chances, you can choose all filtered messages to be delivered to a special mailbox like spam@your-domain.com and not to be erased. Thus, you can check them every now and then to make sure that you haven’t omitted a genuine email message.
