Spam Filters
What is an e-mail spam filter? How does it operate? How to enable spam filtering?
Most emails sent around the world nowadays are spam, in other words – unsolicited messages with various offers or with links to malicious software. Not only are such email messages aggravating, but they also pose a risk to your own computer, not to mention that you may be duped. That’s the reason why many email 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 consists of and how many times they’re referred to, what site a particular hyperlink leads to, what outbound mail server the email message comes from, and so on. Some web hosting companies also rely on the databases of spam-tracking organizations devoted to providing the most up-to-date info about unasked-for messages, to make sure that their customers won’t receive any message in their mailbox that is not supposed to be there.

Spam Filters in Shared Website Hosting
The security of any mailbox that you set up in a
shared website hosting account with us is guaranteed by the advanced SpamAssassin spam filter that we employ. You can enable it via the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and it offers 5 levels of safety based on the spam score it gives to each email message depending on different parameters, such as the recurrence of certain words, the sender, and so on. If you keep getting unsolicited bulk email messages, you can always increase the level or if you’re afraid that you may miss an authentic email, you can combine the automated spam filter with a custom one and forward all emails from a particular sender to a different mailbox. In case you reach the decision that you no longer require an email filter for a certain mailbox, you can disable it with no more than several mouse clicks.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our
semi-dedicated server accounts come with first-class anti-spam protection guaranteed by the popular SpamAssassin spam filter, which rates all inbound email messages based on a spam score in accordance with parameters and patterns, such as the frequency of specific keywords and phrases, the subject, the sender, and so on. When you activate the filter for any mailbox through the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you can select between 5 different levels of security – from very low to very high. If you keep getting junk email messages, you can raise the level, or if authentic email messages are classified as spam, you can lower it. Enabling or disabling the anti-spam protection requires as little as two mouse clicks and you can choose if the filtered email messages should be deleted momentarily or if they should be delivered to a chosen email account where you can check them at a later time, so as to make sure that valuable email messages won’t get lost.
