A spam filter is an app that blocks unwelcome email messages from reaching a given inbox. A huge percentage of the email traffic around the globe involves spam messages: offers for pills or money, fake banking notifications, and so on. For this reason, it is really important to enable email filters to avoid not only spam email messages, but also any chance of being duped in some way. Spam filters detect various things, so as to deliver higher levels of safety – specific words and phrases or the frequency with which they appear in the text, the sender’s email address, or the IP of the sender’s outgoing email server. Web hosts often resort to the services of 3rd-party spam-tracking organizations that provide up-to-the-minute databases in order to make spam filtering easier and more efficient without affecting legitimate email messages, even if they comprise suspicious words or phrases.
Spam Filters in Cloud Hosting
The protection of any mailbox that you set up in a cloud hosting account with us is ensured by the powerful SpamAssassin email filter that we use. You can activate it via the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and it offers five safety levels based on the spam score given to each and every email message in accordance with various criteria, such as the recurrence of specific words, the sender, and so on. If you keep receiving spam email messages, you can always increase the level or if you’re afraid that you may skip a legitimate email, you can combine the automatic filter with a custom one and forward all emails from a specific sender to another email address. In case you decide that you no longer require an email filter for a certain mailbox, you can disable it with no more than a few clicks of the mouse.
Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated server plans deliver top-of-the-line spam protection ensured by the famous SpamAssassin spam filter, which ranks all inbound emails on the basis of a spam score in accordance with patterns and parameters, such as the frequency of certain keywords and phrases, the sender, the subject, etc. When you activate the filter for any email account via the Hepsia Control Panel’s Email Manager section, you can choose between 5 separate protection levels – from very low to very high. If you keep receiving junk emails, you can increase the level, or if genuine email messages are tagged as spam, you can decrease it. Activating or deactivating the anti-spam protection requires as little as two clicks and you can choose if the filtered emails should be erased immediately or if they should be delivered to a designated email address where you can review them later, so as to make sure that the emails that you need won’t get lost.
