Most email messages sent around the world nowadays are spam, in other words – unasked-for messages with different offers or with links to malicious software. Not only are such emails irritating, but they also present a threat to your own PC, not to mention that you may get conned. That is why, many mail service providers make use of email filters, which are applications that keep track of all incoming email messages and filter the unwanted ones on the basis of their content – what words an email includes and how many times they’re cited, what web site a particular hyperlink redirects to, what outbound email server the email is sent from, and so on. Certain providers also make use of the databases of spam-tracing organizations devoted to the provision of the most up-to-date information about undesirable emails, to make certain that their customers will not get any message in their inbox that’s not supposed to be there.

Spam Filters in Cloud Website Hosting

Our cloud website hosting servers use one of the very best spam filters available on the market. It’s called SpamAssassin and is available with every cloud hosting package, so in case you host your domain names with us, you can pick one of the five levels of safety that the filter offers for any email account that you have here. You can do this with just two clicks from the Email Manager section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel that’s used to manage all cloud web hosting accounts. SpamAssassin analyzes the header and the content of each and every message, gives it a spam score and then proceeds according to the level that you’ve chosen. Every email account can have a different level and you can select if the email messages that the anti-spam filter labels as spam should be deleted or redirected to a separate email account where you can review them later, so as to avoid erasing a legitimate email message. Changing the level or deactivating the protection is also rather easy.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you take advantage of one of our semi-dedicated hosting plans, you will not have to worry about junk email messages clogging your mailboxes all the time, as you can make use of the popular SpamAssassin spam filter that we offer with each account. Our custom-developed Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to activate the filter for any email account with several mouse clicks and you can choose any of the five levels of safety – from very high to very low. The level can be changed at any moment if, for instance, genuine emails get filtered, or if junk messages go through and reach your inbox. To take no chances, you can choose all filtered email messages to be re-sent to a special email account like spam@your-domain.com and not to be deleted. In this way, you can examine them from time to time to make certain that you have not omitted a genuine message.
