Most of the emails sent around the globe these days are spam, i.e. unsolicited messages with various offers or with links to malware. Not only are such email messages aggravating, but they also pose a risk to your own PC, not to mention that you may be ripped off. That’s why, lots of mail service providers resort to email filters, which are apps that monitor all inbound emails and filter out the undesired ones on the basis of their content – what words or phrases an email consists of and how often they are referred to, what web site a specific link redirects to, what outbound mail server the message comes from, etc. Certain providers also use the databases of spam-tracing organizations dedicated to the provision of the most up-to-date info about undesirable email messages, to ensure that their customers will not receive any email message in their inbox that is not supposed to be there.
Spam Filters in Website Hosting
If you order a website hosting package from us and if you use our email services, you will be able to set up spam filtering for any of the email accounts that you create from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. With only several clicks of the mouse, you can select between 5 separate protection levels. If you start receiving spam, you can begin with the lowest level and then gradually boost the level till you stop receiving spam. We rely on one of the best and most popular spam filters out there called SpamAssassin. It checks the header field and the body of each email that you get and calculates a spam score, based on which it either deletes a specific email or permits it to enter your inbox. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel will also allow you to create custom spam filters and either eliminate undesired messages or redirect them to a 3rd-party email address such as spam@domain.com where you can read them again at a later time.
Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting
In case you take advantage of one of our semi-dedicated packages, you won’t need to worry about spam emails occupying your mailboxes all the time, as you can take advantage of the popular SpamAssassin email filter that we provide with each and every account. Our custom-built Hepsia hosting Control Panel will permit you to enable the filter for any mailbox with a few clicks and you can pick one of the 5 levels of security – from very high to very low. The level can be changed at any time if, for instance, legitimate messages get filtered, or if junk messages go through and appear in your inbox. To be on the safe side, you can choose all filtered messages to be forwarded to a special email account such as spam@your-domain.com and not to be erased. Thus, you can check them every now and then to make certain that you have not omitted a genuine email message.
