Most email messages sent around the world these days are spam, i.e. unsolicited messages with various offers or with hyperlinks to malware. Not only are such email messages annoying, but they also present a threat to your own PC, not to mention that you may get conned. This is the reason why a lot of mail service providers use email filters, which are software applications that ‘scan’ all inbound email messages and filter out the unwanted ones on the basis of their content – what words an email message contains and how many times they are referred to, what website a particular hyperlink points to, what outbound SMTP server the message comes from, etc. Some hosting companies also use the databases of spam-monitoring organizations devoted to providing the most up-to-date info about unwelcome emails, to ensure that their customers won’t receive any message in their mailbox that is not supposed to be there.

Spam Filters in Cloud Website Hosting

Our cloud website hosting servers employ one of the best anti-spam filters available. It is called SpamAssassin and is included with every cloud hosting plan, so if you host your domain names with our company, you can opt for one of the 5 security levels that the filter offers for any mailbox that you have here. You can accomplish this with just two mouse clicks from the Email Manager section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel that is used to manage all shared web hosting accounts. SpamAssassin analyzes the header field and the content of every email message, gives it a spam score and then continues in accordance with the level that you have picked. Each mailbox can have a different setting and you can choose whether the messages that the anti-spam filter classifies as spam should be erased or delivered to a separate email account where you can check them later, so as to prevent erasing an authentic message. Switching to another level or deactivating the anti-spam protection is also unbelievably easy.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you order a semi-dedicated server package from our company and if you set up one or more email accounts with any of the domain names hosted under your account, you will be able to activate the advanced, five-level SpamAssassin spam filter that we provide and keep all undesired messages out of your mailbox. This functionality is accessible through the Email Manager section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and it can be enabled or disabled for any email account whenever you like. You can also tweak the level of protection with a couple of clicks of the mouse in case junk emails still appear in your inbox or the spam filter starts erasing genuine messages. As you can choose if the spam should be erased straight away or redirected to some other mailbox, you can set up spam@domain.com, for instance, and check all filtered email messages there, so as to make certain that you won’t miss an email that you require. The email messages that the filter allows to proceed will still be received in your inbox.
