A spam filter is a software app that stops unasked-for email messages from entering a given inbox. A large percentage of the email traffic around the world involves spam messages: offers for pills or money, fraudulent banking notifications, and so on. That’s why, it is quite important to enable email filters in order to avoid not only unsolicited bulk emails, but also any chance of being tricked in some way. Email filters detect various things, so as to deliver higher levels of security – particular words and phrases or the frequency with which they appear in the text, the sender’s email address, or the IP address of the sender’s SMTP mail server. Hosting providers frequently resort to the services of 3rd-party spam-monitoring organizations that provide up-to-date databases to render email filtering simpler and more effective without affecting genuine email messages, even if they include suspicious words.
Spam Filters in Shared Website Hosting
If you get a shared website hosting plan from us and if you make use of our mail services, you’ll be able to set up spam filters for any of the email accounts that you set up from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel. With just several clicks, you can choose between five separate protection levels. If you start getting spam, you can begin with the lowest one and then gradually increase the level till you stop receiving spam. We make use of one of the very best and most famous spam filters available called SpamAssassin. It analyzes the header section and the body of each and every email that you get and determines a spam score, based on which it either erases a given email message or permits it to reach your inbox. The Hepsia Control Panel will also allow you to configure custom filters and either erase undesirable email messages or redirect them to a third-party address such as spam@domain.com where you can check them once again at a later time.
Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated server packages deliver excellent spam protection ensured by the popular SpamAssassin filter, which rates all inbound email messages on the basis of a spam score that depends on parameters and patterns, such as the recurrence of particular keywords and phrases, the sender, the subject, and so on. When you enable the filter for any email account via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section, you can select between 5 different protection levels – from very low to very high. If you continue to receive unsolicited bulk email messages, you can increase the level, or if legitimate messages are blocked as spam, you can lower it. Activating or deactivating the anti-spam protection requires as little as 2 clicks and you can choose if the filtered messages should be erased instantly or if they should be re-sent to a chosen email account where you can examine them later, so as to make sure that important messages won’t get lost.
