An email filter is a software app that blocks unwanted email messages from entering a given mailbox. An immense percentage of the email communication around the world involves spam messages: offers for pills or money, fake banking notifications, and so on. Because of this, it’s very important to enable filters to avoid not only spam messages, but also any chance of being tricked somehow. Email filters detect different things, so as to ensure better safety – particular words or the frequency with which they surface in the text, the sender’s email address, or the IP of the sender’s outbound mail server. Web hosts frequently rely on the services of 3rd-party spam-tracking organizations that provide up-to-date databases to render email filtering easier and more effective without affecting genuine emails, even if they comprise suspicious words or phrases.
Spam Filters in Shared Website Hosting
If you decide to host your domain names with our company and you choose any of our Linux shared website hosting, you’ll be able to set up spam filters for any mailbox that you create. With several clicks in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel, you can configure 5 separate security levels. In case you still receive unsolicited bulk emails or the spam filters start preventing legitimate email messages from reaching your mailbox, you can change the level just as easily. The quality of our spam detection service is ensured by one of the most famous spam filters – SpamAssassin. In case you do not want to risk omitting an authentic email that may be blocked as spam due to its content, you can also set up custom email filters based on the sender, the body or the subject of the email message and forward the emails to a different email account where you can view them at a later time.
Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our semi-dedicated server accounts offer exceptional anti-spam protection guaranteed by the popular SpamAssassin anti-spam filter, which rates all incoming messages based on a spam score that depends on patterns and parameters, such as the recurrence of specific keywords, the subject, the sender, etc. When you activate the filter for any account via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section, you can select between 5 different levels – from very high to very low. If you keep receiving spam messages, you can increase the level, or if authentic messages are flagged as spam, you can lower it. Enabling or disabling the spam protection takes as little as 2 mouse clicks and you can select if the filtered email messages should be erased right away or if they should be delivered to a chosen mailbox where you can view them at a later point in time, so as to make sure that important messages will not disappear.
