Most of the email messages sent around the world nowadays are spam, i.e. undesired messages with different offers or with links to malware. Not only are such emails aggravating, but they also pose a risk to your personal computer, not to mention that you may be tricked. For this reason, many email providers use email filters, which are software applications that ‘scan’ all inbound email messages and filter out the undesired ones based on their content – what words or phrases an email includes and how many times they are mentioned, what web site a given link points to, what email server the email comes from, and so on. Some web hosting providers also use the databases of spam-detecting organizations dedicated to the provision of the most up-to-the-minute information about undesirable emails, to make sure that their customers won’t get any email 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 best spam filters out there. It’s called SpamAssassin and is offered with every web hosting plan, so in case you host your domains with our company, you can choose one of the 5 levels of protection that the filter offers for any email account that you’ve got here. You can do this with just 2 mouse clicks from the Email Manager section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel that’s used to manage all shared hosting accounts. SpamAssassin ‘scans’ the header and the body of every message, calculates a spam score and then continues in accordance with the level that you’ve opted for. Each mailbox can have a different setting and you can choose if the email messages that the filter considers as spam should be deleted or forwarded to some other email address where you can read them at a later point in time, so as to avoid deleting a legitimate email message. Switching to some other level or disabling the protection is also exceptionally easy.
Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you get a semi-dedicated server plan from our company and if you create one or more email accounts with any of the domain names hosted in the account, you’ll be able to activate the powerful, five-level SpamAssassin spam filter that we offer 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 mailbox whenever you want. You can also alter the level of security with several clicks of the mouse in case junk email messages still enter your mailbox or the filter starts erasing authentic email messages. Since you can choose whether the spam should be deleted instantly or delivered to some other email address, you can set up spam@domain.com, for example, and view all filtered messages there, so as to make certain that you won’t miss an email that you need. The messages that the filter allows to proceed will still appear in your inbox.
