An email filter is a software app that’s installed on a POP3/IMAP email server and keeps track of all inbound email messages so as to prevent any unrequested ones from reaching a given mailbox. A few instances of such email messages would be: offers for pills or cash, false banking notifications or attachments that contain malicious code sent with the idea to infect your computer. Spam filters typically examine the content of an email message and if they detect given keywords or other dubious content, they either delete the message or deliver it to the Spam/Junk folder instead of the Inbox folder. Certain companies combine their own filters with up-to-date databases from spam-tracing organizations, so as to guarantee higher levels of safety for their clients. Such databases contain patterns, email server IP addresses and other information about spam messages recently detected by these organizations.

Spam Filters in Shared Hosting

If you reach the decision to host your domain names with our company and you pick any of our shared packages, you will be able to enable spam filtering for any email address that you set up. With a few clicks in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you can configure five different levels of protection. If you continue to receive junk emails or the email filters start preventing authentic messages from reaching your mailbox, you can change the level just as easily. The quality of our spam protection solution is guaranteed by one of the most widely used spam filters – SpamAssassin. In case you don’t want to risk omitting a genuine email that may be flagged as spam owing to its content, you can also configure custom filters based on the body, the subject or the sender of the email message and forward the emails to another email account where you can check them at a later time.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server accounts provide top-class anti-spam protection guaranteed by the famous SpamAssassin anti-spam filter, which rates all inbound emails based on a spam score in accordance with parameters and patterns, such as the recurrence of particular keywords, the sender, the subject, etc. When you enable the filter for any account through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section, you can pick between five separate levels of safety – from very high to very low. If you continue to get spam emails, you can raise the level, or if genuine emails are flagged as spam, you can decrease it. Enabling or disabling the spam protection takes as little as 2 clicks of the mouse and you can select if the filtered emails should be erased straight away or if they should be delivered to a chosen email address where you can view them later, so as to make certain that valuable emails won’t disappear.
