An email filter is an app that blocks unwelcome messages from entering a particular inbox. A considerable percentage of the email communication around the globe involves spam email messages: offers for pills or cash, forged banking notifications, and so on. This is why, it is rather important to use filters to avoid not only spam messages, but also any possibility of being swindled somehow. Filters detect different things, so as to guarantee higher levels of security – specific words or the frequency with which they occur in the text, the sender’s email address, or the IP of the sender’s SMTP mail server. Web hosting providers frequently use the services of third-party spam-detecting organizations that provide up-to-the-minute databases in order to render email filtering simpler and more effective without affecting genuine email messages, even if they include suspicious words or phrases.

Spam Filters in Cloud Website Hosting

The security of any mailbox that you create under a cloud website hosting account with our company is ensured by the advanced SpamAssassin spam filter that we employ. You can enable it through the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and it offers 5 protection levels based on the spam score given to each email message in accordance with different criteria, such as the recurrence of certain words and phrases, the sender, etc. If you keep receiving spam messages, you can always raise the level or if you are afraid that you may miss a legitimate email, you can mix the automated email filter with a custom one and redirect all email messages from a certain sender to another mailbox. In case you decide that you no longer need an email filter for a specific email account, you can disable it with no more than several clicks of the mouse.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you take advantage of one of our semi-dedicated servers, you won’t need to worry about unsolicited bulk messages filling up your mailboxes all the time, as you can resort to the popular SpamAssassin filter that we provide with every account. Our in-house developed Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to enable the filter for any email account with a few mouse clicks and you can select any of the 5 levels of protection – from very high to very low. The level can be altered at any time if, for example, genuine emails get filtered, or if unsolicited bulk emails go through and reach your Inbox folder. To take no chances, you can choose all filtered emails to be redirected to a special email account such as spam@your-domain.com and not to be erased. Thus, you can examine them from time to time to make certain that you have not omitted a legitimate email message.
