A spam filter is an application that impedes undesired email messages from reaching a particular mailbox. A substantial percentage of the email correspondence around the globe is composed of spam email messages: offers for pills or cash, forged banking notifications, etc. This is why, it is rather important to set up email filters to avoid not only unsolicited bulk messages, but also any possibility of being scammed somehow. Filters detect various things, so as to ensure better security – certain words and phrases or the frequency with which they occur in the text, the sender’s address, or the IP address of the sender’s outbound SMTP email server. Hosting providers often resort to the services of 3rd-party spam-tracking organizations that provide up-to-date databases to make email filtering easier and more effective without affecting legitimate messages, even if they include suspicious words.
Spam Filters in Hosting
If you get a hosting plan from us and if you use our email services, you’ll be able to enable spam filters for any of the email accounts that you create from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. With no more than several clicks, you can pick between 5 different levels of safety. If you start receiving spam, you can start with the lowest level and then slowly boost the level till you stop getting spam. We use one of the very best and most popular spam filters out there called SpamAssassin. It analyzes the header section and the body of each and every email message that you get and determines a spam score, based on which it either deletes a particular email or allows it to enter your inbox. Hepsia will also permit you to set up custom spam filters and either delete undesired email messages or redirect them to a 3rd-party address such as spam@domain.com where you can read them once more after that.
Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our semi-dedicated server packages offer top-class anti-spam protection guaranteed by the popular SpamAssassin anti-spam filter, which rates all inbound messages on the basis of a spam score in accordance with parameters and patterns, such as the frequency of specific keywords, the sender, the subject, etc. When you enable the filter for any email account through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section, you can pick between five different levels of security – from very low to very high. If you continue to receive junk messages, you can increase the level, or if authentic messages are blocked as spam, you can decrease it. Enabling or disabling the anti-spam protection requires as little as two clicks and you can select if the filtered messages should be deleted instantaneously or if they should be redirected to a designated email account where you can review them later, so as to make certain that valuable messages will not disappear.
