Most email messages sent around the world nowadays are spam, i.e. unwelcome messages with various offers or with links to malware. Not only are such emails irritating, but they also present a threat to your own computer, not to mention that you may be conned. That is the reason why many email providers make use of spam filters, which are software applications that monitor all inbound email messages and filter the undesirable ones based on their content – what words or phrases an email message includes and how many times they are cited, what site a given link leads to, what SMTP mail server the message is sent from, and so on. Some hosting providers also use the databases of spam-monitoring organizations dedicated to providing the most up-to-date info about unwanted messages, to make sure that their customers will not receive any email message in their inbox that is not supposed to be there.

Spam Filters in Cloud Hosting

In case you reach the decision to host your domain names with our company and you select any of our cloud plans, you’ll be able to set up spam filtering for any email address that you set up. With several clicks of the mouse in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel, you can switch between five separate protection levels. If you still get spam emails or the filters start preventing authentic email messages from entering your mailbox, you can switch to another level just as easily. The quality of our spam protection service is ensured by one of the most famous email filters – SpamAssassin. If you don’t want to risk omitting a legitimate email that may be regarded as spam due to its content, you can also create custom email filters based on the body, the subject or the sender of the message and re-send the emails to some other mailbox where you can view them at a later point in time.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you take advantage of one of our semi-dedicated servers, you won’t need to worry about spam messages cramming your mailboxes every now and then, as you can resort to the famous SpamAssassin anti-spam filter that we provide with every semi-dedicated hosting account. Our in-house created Hepsia hosting Control Panel will allow you to activate the filter for any mailbox with several clicks of the mouse and you can pick one of the 5 safety levels – from very high to very low. The level can be altered at any moment if, for instance, authentic messages get filtered, or if unsolicited bulk messages go through and reach your Inbox folder. To take no chances, you can choose all filtered emails to be redirected to a special mailbox such as spam@your-domain.com and not to be erased. In this way, you can check them from time to time to make certain that you have not missed a legitimate email.
