An email filter is a piece of software that is installed on a POP3/IMAP email server and keeps track of all incoming emails to block any unsolicited ones from reaching a given inbox. A few examples of such email messages would be: offers for pills or cash, false bank notices or email attachments that contain malicious software sent with the intention of infecting your computer. Email filters typically ‘scan’ the content of an email and if they detect given keywords or other dubious content, they either delete the message or re-send it to the Spam/Junk folder instead of the Inbox folder. Some hosting providers mix their own spam filters with up-to-the-minute databases from spam-monitoring organizations, so as to ensure higher levels of security for their customers. Such databases include patterns, email server IPs and other information about spam email messages recently revealed by these organizations.

Spam Filters in Cloud Web Hosting

In case you reach the decision to host your domains with us and you select any of our Linux cloud web hosting services, you will be able to activate spam filtering for any email account that you set up. With several clicks in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you can switch between 5 different levels of safety. If you still receive unsolicited bulk messages or the filters start preventing authentic messages from reaching your inbox, you can switch to another level just as easily. The efficiency of our spam protection solution is guaranteed by one of the most famous email filters – SpamAssassin. If you do not want to risk missing a legitimate email that may be flagged as spam owing to its content, you can also create custom filters based on the sender, the body or the subject of the message and re-send the emails to some other email address where you can check them later.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server packages provide first-class anti-spam protection ensured by the popular SpamAssassin email filter, which sorts all inbound messages based on a spam score that depends on parameters and patterns, such as the frequency of specific keywords and phrases, the sender, the subject, etc. When you activate the filter for any mailbox via the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you can select between 5 different levels of safety – from very high to very low. If you keep receiving unsolicited bulk emails, you can increase the level, or if legitimate email messages are tagged as spam, you can decrease it. Activating or deactivating the spam protection takes as little as 2 clicks and you can choose if the filtered emails should be erased right away or if they should be redirected to a chosen mailbox where you can view them later, so as to make certain that important emails won’t get lost.
