Most emails sent around the globe nowadays are spam, in other words – undesirable messages with different offers or with hyperlinks to malicious software. Not only are such emails irritating, but they also present a threat to your own personal computer, not to mention that you may get swindled. That is why, many email service providers rely on email filters, which are apps that monitor all incoming messages and filter the unwanted ones on the basis of their content – what words an email message includes and how many times they’re mentioned, what web site a given link points to, what outgoing SMTP email server the email is sent from, etc. Certain companies also rely on the databases of spam-tracking organizations devoted to providing the most up-to-date information about unwelcome messages, to make sure that their clients will not receive any message in their mailbox that shouldn’t be there.
Spam Filters in Shared Hosting
The security of any email account that you create in a shared hosting account with our company is guaranteed by the advanced SpamAssassin spam filter that we use. You can activate it through the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and it offers 5 security levels based on the spam score it gives to each email message in accordance with various criteria, such as the frequency of specific words, the sender, and so on. If you keep receiving spam messages, you can always increase the level or if you are scared that you may skip a legitimate email, you can mix the automatic filter with a custom one and redirect all messages from a certain sender to a different email address. In case you reach the decision that you no longer require an email filter for a specific email account, you can deactivate it with only a few clicks of the mouse.
Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you take advantage of one of our semi-dedicated servers, you won’t have to worry about spam emails stuffing your mailboxes all the time, as you can take advantage of the famous SpamAssassin anti-spam filter that we offer with each semi-dedicated server account. Our custom Hepsia hosting Control Panel will allow you to enable the filter for any email account with several mouse clicks and you can select any of the five security levels – from very high to very low. The level can be changed at any moment if, for instance, legitimate email messages get filtered, or if unsolicited bulk messages go through and reach your inbox. To be on the safe side, you can choose all filtered messages to be delivered to a special email account such as spam@your-domain.com and not to be erased. In this way, you can examine them from time to time to ensure that you have not omitted a genuine email.
