An email filter is an application that obstructs undesired email messages from reaching a particular mailbox. A large percentage of the email correspondence around the world is composed of spam emails: offers for pills or money, forged bank notifications, and so on. This is why, it is extremely important to set up email filters in order to avoid not only unsolicited bulk email messages, but also any chance of being conned somehow. Filters detect different things, so as to ensure better protection – certain words and phrases or the frequency with which they surface in the text, the sender’s email address, or the IP of the sender’s outbound email server. Hosting providers often make use of the services of 3rd-party spam-tracing organizations that provide up-to-the-minute databases to make spam filtering better and easier without affecting legitimate emails, even if they include suspicious words or phrases.
Spam Filters in Shared Hosting
In case you reach the decision to host your domains with us and you pick any of our Linux shared hosting, you’ll be able to set up spam filters for any email account that you create. With a few mouse clicks in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you can set up five different levels of security. If you continue to get spam messages or the spam filters start preventing authentic messages from entering your mailbox, you can switch to some other level just as easily. The quality of our anti-spam solution is guaranteed by one of the most famous spam filters – SpamAssassin. In case you don’t want to risk omitting a legitimate message that may be considered as spam due to its content, you can also create custom email filters based on the body, the sender or the subject of the email message and redirect the emails to another email account where you can review them at a later point in time.
Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated server packages provide exceptional spam protection ensured by the famous SpamAssassin filter, which classifies all inbound email messages on the basis of a spam score in accordance with parameters and patterns, such as the frequency of specific keywords and phrases, the subject, the sender, etc. When you enable the filter for any mailbox through the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel, you can pick between 5 different security levels – from very low to very high. If you continue to receive unsolicited bulk emails, you can raise 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 2 clicks of the mouse and you can select if the filtered messages should be deleted right away or if they should be re-sent to a chosen email account where you can check them later, so as to make certain that the email messages that you need will not get lost.
