Most emails sent around the globe these days are spam, i.e. unrequested messages with various offers or with links to malicious software. Not only are such email messages irritating, but they also present a threat to your own personal computer, not to mention that you may be tricked. That’s the reason why lots of mail service providers resort to email filters, which are software applications that monitor all inbound emails and filter the unwanted ones on the basis of their content – what words or phrases an email message consists of and how often they’re referred to, what website a given hyperlink opens, what SMTP email server the message comes from, and so on. Some web hosts also make use of the databases of spam-monitoring organizations dedicated to providing the most up-to-the-minute information about undesired emails, to make sure that their clients will not receive any email in their inbox that shouldn’t be there.
Spam Filters in Web Hosting
The protection of any email account that you create in a web hosting account with us is guaranteed by the advanced SpamAssassin filter that we use. You can enable it through the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel and it offers 5 levels of safety based on the spam score it gives to every email message depending on various parameters, such as the recurrence of specific words, the sender, and so on. If you keep receiving spam, you can always raise the level or if you are afraid that you may miss a legitimate email message, you can mix the automatic filter with a custom one and redirect all emails from a certain sender to another email account. If you decide that you no longer want a spam filter for a given email account, you can disable it with only several mouse clicks.
Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our semi-dedicated server accounts deliver first-rate spam protection ensured by the popular SpamAssassin spam filter, which ranks all incoming email messages on the basis of a spam score that depends on parameters and patterns, such as the frequency of particular keywords and phrases, the subject, the sender, etc. When you enable the filter for any email account via the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel, you can pick between 5 different protection levels – from very low to very high. If you still receive spam messages, you can increase the level, or if genuine email messages are reported as spam, you can decrease it. Enabling or disabling the spam protection requires as little as two clicks and you can choose if the filtered email messages should be deleted instantaneously or if they should be delivered to a designated email account where you can check them at a later time, so as to ensure that important emails will not disappear.
